Supporting the responsible growth of the short-term accommodation industry
The UK Short Term Accommodation Association (STAA) was founded in 2017 with a clear purpose in mind: ensuring greater cooperation to tackle common industry challenges and seizing shared opportunities in this growing sector. To this end, we are seeking to work with all stakeholders towards a stable and supportive regulatory environment that promotes the UK as a global leader in the provision of short-term accommodation.
Our marketplace helps anyone in the industry find reputable companies in the sector that you can trust to support the growth of your business. There are two types of companies in our marketplace, accredited property managers (members) for owners who want to professionally short-let their property and suppliers (affilites) who provide services to hosts and companies. We offer special discounts to members.
STAA members and the wider industry help to generate:
