Beyond's global presence has accelerated throughout 2024, despite continued volatility in the short-term rental industry. Beyond now has customers in more than 100 countries and continues to add more each month. Additionally, Beyond's innovative Search-Powered Pricing is now being used by customers in more than 40 global markets to utilize real-time consumer search data in their revenue management strategies, enabling them to make more money and more effectively manage their marketing & distribution channels.

"The entire travel industry is at a tipping point – there are endless data sources that show vendors exactly what guests want and need – and the short term rental sector has so much opportunity to advance by utilizing this customer intent data," said Flores Portillo, CRO at Beyond. "I'm thrilled to spearhead our global GTM teams as we further evangelize the power of data for this sector, and support our customer base as they grow their own businesses with Beyond."
