dc.description.abstract | This paper explores the rise of short-term rental (STR) management companies and reveals the transition from a
sharing economy activity to the consolidation of a professional industry hinging on what we call ‘corporate
hosts’. By relying on interviews with companies operating in Lisbon and Porto, Portugal, we found: first, that a
phenomenon of market concentration occurred in which individual hosts have outsourced the management of
their properties to corporate hosts; second, that through the use of digital technology and vertical integration,
corporate hosts are able to enhance the profitability of large portfolios of STRs; and, third, that corporate hosts
imitate practices from the hotel industry, leading to the formation of a hybrid product in which the lines between
hotels and STRs have blurred. We argue that corporate hosts constitute a new layer of intermediation that
challenges the way we understand the STR industry and the overall functioning of this market. | es |
