6. Future of Vacation Rentals in the Region<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Projections indicate that the market will continue to grow, albeit with greater regulation and professionalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emerging trends<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Increased demand is expected for properties with sustainable certification, hybrid spaces (work + leisure), and amenities such as rooftops, coworking, and spas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
