Witnesses to the meteoric rise of the alternative accommodation sector will know that its growth will continue to face a number of challenges alongside the obvious opportunities.
There are question marks for all over distribution of content, for example, not least as the so-called giants of the industry organize their money marketing spend to capture the demand from customers.

And how does the sector decipher the increasingly blurred lines between hotels and alternative accommodation, including how the platforms that service both figure out how to grow as businesses.
