AI: a revolution underway in vacation rentals

The vacation rental industry is experiencing unprecedented digital transformation. According to a survey conducted by Beyond in 2024, 46% of travelers say they're ready to use artificial intelligence to plan their next trip. This statistic illustrates a major shift in consumer behavior and underscores the importance for professionals to adapt quickly.

Leading platforms like Airbnb are already massively integrating AI, using algorithms to accurately predict the likelihood that a host will accept a booking request or that a guest will give a positive review. Airbnb's CEO, Brian Chesky, has announced significant changes with the integration of GPT-4 at the heart of their application since 2024.

This massive adoption of AI by major players creates a new competitive environment where property managers must equip themselves with intelligent tools to maintain their competitiveness.

Avantio: a key player in property management

Avantio is a major player in the vacation rental ecosystem, recognized for its role as a Channel Manager and Property Management System (PMS). It helps property managers and hosts worldwide centralize the management of their listings, reservations, and various operations.

With over 21 years of experience and an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars based on 189 user reviews, Avantio has established itself as a robust solution for professionals managing at least 20 properties. Its comprehensive ecosystem offers connections to over 50 international booking portals, a direct booking engine, and advanced financial management tools.

Its evolution over the years has made it a robust platform, offering notable benefits, particularly for multi-platform management and calendar synchronization. However, like any software, it may have certain limitations, especially when you want to go beyond simple classic automation and integrate true artificial intelligence capable of conversing, optimizing, and making complex decisions.

How to integrate AI into Avantio? The direct connection approach

Forget searching for an AI compatible with Avantio that would depend on a specific API or additional connector. Nowistay's AI integration happens directly and transparently with your main booking platforms: Airbnb and Booking.com.

This approach offers immediate advantages to Airbnb hosts and property managers:

  • ‍Increased responsiveness: The AI co-host manages your guest communications 24/7, reducing your response time to just minutes.‍
  • Dynamic pricing optimization (indirect): By improving service quality and response time, your overall rating increases, which highlights your listing in Airbnb and Booking.com algorithms, thus maximizing your potential revenue.‍
  • Rapid implementation: No application to download or connector to set up. Implementation is immediate and frictionless for Avantio users.

It's a reality: AI is on the rise in vacation rentals, and adding an AI component to your channel manager is the key to staying competitive.

Multiple uses of AI in vacation rentals

Beyond simple automated messaging, artificial intelligence transforms all aspects of property management. AI improves the security and efficiency of the guest verification and pre-registration process, making the experience smoother and more secure for everyone.

Innovative solutions are constantly emerging. For example, Marriott is currently testing a search engine integrating generative artificial intelligence to offer travelers a new way to book their vacations. Thanks to natural language processing, these tools understand complex queries and provide personalized recommendations.

In pricing, dynamic pricing solutions are based on over 40 criteria including property characteristics and amenities, geographic location, demand, seasonality, local events, and days of the week.

Key features of Nowistay AI integration with Avantio

Our intelligent co-host doesn't just relay information. It offers complete AI property management that goes beyond classic integrations. Here are its flagship features:

  • ‍Intelligent guest messaging management: The AI co-host handles common questions, specific requests about amenities or house rules, and automatically sends thank you and goodbye messages.‍
  • Multilingual and available 24/7: It ensures constant presence, regardless of your guest's time zone or language, guaranteeing high, uninterrupted service quality.‍
  • Simplified multi-platform management: The AI is synchronized directly with Airbnb and Booking.com. Whether your listing is managed via Avantio, SuperHote, PassPass, Evivo, or Hospitable, Nowistay's co-host takes over communication with all your guests.‍
  • Massive time savings for teams: By delegating 80% of routine interactions to AI, your property management teams can focus on high-value tasks and improving customer experience for complex cases.

This is the very essence of AI PMS automation: invisible but incredibly effective assistance.

The balance between automation and human touch

While AI offers undeniable advantages, it's crucial to maintain balance. Some experts highlight the risks of inappropriate use of this technology, which could harm both guests and property owners if poorly calibrated.

Excessive use of AI can create technological dependence and reduce the ability to make independent decisions. That's why Nowistay's AI co-host is designed as an assistance tool, not as a human replacement. It handles repetitive tasks while notifying you via email or WhatsApp as soon as human intervention is needed.

This hybrid approach allows you to maintain the personal touch that makes the difference in guest experience, while benefiting from automation efficiency.
