Jamie Lane has been appointed as Vice President of Research at AirDNA

During his time as senior director of research for CBRE Hotels, Jamie led all aspects of research, forecasting and data intelligence. Mr. Lane has done extensive research on the determinants of hospitality demand and created models for profit, average daily rate, supply, and demand forecasting. Jamie has published several studies, using AirDNA data, on the rise and proliferation of the short-term rental industry and its impact on the overall lodging industry.

AirDNA's joint report with hotel data firm, STR confirmed that vacation rentals are weathering the storm better than hotels as key differentiating features of vacation rentals; supply in more rural areas, entire home listings, space and full-service amenities make them the safer choice for guests amidst the pandemic.

With AirDNA's data tracking these changes globally and Jamie's unparalleled experience in the field, AirDNA's customers will have access to state-of-the-art tools, insights and research reports for hoteliers and vacation rental managers to quickly adapt to the changing travel behaviors.

As the travel industry navigates its way through pandemic surges, awaiting a full recovery contingent on a vaccine, data is at the forefront for those looking to understand and adapt in this volatile environment.
