As @vrbo’s policy changes shake up the travel and short-term rental industries, our co-founder and CEO, Rena Pacheco-Theard @renapt, shared her insights in Dennis Schaal’s @denschaal @skift article published yesterday: "Rather than travelers being responsible for purchasing trip insurance to protect against natural disasters and abnormal weather events or declared health emergencies, hosts now foot the bill with no compensation."
