Traditional inns\, hotels\, and lodges have gradually declined\, while short-term rentals (STRs) now make up a significant portion of the Valley’s visitor bed base. \nAt the same time\, municipalities are actively discussing housing pressures\, STR regulations\, and how to balance tourism with community needs. These shifts have created both opportunities and tensions\, and it’s more important than ever that the STR sector engages constructively in shaping the Valley’s visitor economy. \nThe Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce is convening an initial meeting to begin building a collaborative table for dialogue and action. \nWhy This Conversation Matters\nFor decades\, traditional lodging properties carried much of the responsibility for promoting the Valley as a visitor destination. STRs are now an established and growing part of that lodging mix — a fact of life in today’s tourism economy. \nAs STRs continue to grow\, it is vital that this sector pulls its weight in promoting the Valley\, helping share the responsibility for sustaining the visitor economy and supporting local businesses that depend on tourism. \nLocal municipalities are also paying close attention to housing\, STR regulations\, and community impacts. The most effective way for STR owners and dependent businesses to have a voice in these discussions is to organize\, communicate openly\, and engage collaboratively. Participating now ensures your perspectives help shape the future.  \nLearn more about the STR issue in the MRV – the Mad River Valley Planning District created a Short Term Rentals in the MRV White Paper. Created in 2021 it is somewhat dated but the most pertinent facts remain generally unchanged.
