The pandemic initiated a boom in the staycation market, creating an influx of new Airbnb users and a demand for contactless check-ins. So, how do we communicate clearly with our guests when they’re new to the platform and we can’t meet them in person?

Andy McNulty is the Cofounder and CEO of Touch Stay, a software service enabling Airbnb hosts to create digital guidebooks for their guests. Touch Stay had its best year to date in 2021, growing to serve 17,500 STR properties.
