Exclusive Peek: The Making of Canada's Innaugural STR Conference - with Catherine Ratcliffe

Don't forget to subscribe 🎤 In this special episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Catherine Ratcliffe, the visionary host and founder of Canstays. Her story is one of courage, innovation, and the deep-rooted desire to create a platform that brings the Canadian STR community together. Moving from Ottawa to Florida and embarking on her own STR adventure, Catherine identified a critical gap in the Canadian market—a need for a conference that not only caters to Canadian operators but also celebrates the uniqueness of our industry. Canstays is her answer to that need. This conversation is an open invitation for you to learn directly from Catherine about the ethos of Canstays and the invaluable insights it promises to offer. 📋 Chapters! 00:00 Introduction to The Accommodation Show and Guests 04:05 Launching the Canstays Conference: A Vision for Canada 05:20 Unveiling the Need for a Dedicated Canadian STR Conference 08:10 Fostering a Vibrant Community and Cultivating Industry Relationships 14:23 Networking's Crucial Role in STR Industry Growth and Support 25:15 Selecting Banff: Showcasing Canada's Splendour at Canstays 30:33 Canstays: Pioneering the STR Conference Scene in Canada 34:31 Rallying Industry Support: The Significance of Canstays for STR Professionals 35:40 Wrapping Up: Reflections and Acknowledgements ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🥊 Hotel - BNB - STR Owners! 🥊 Need more direct bookings or a brand new website?
