ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN

Five-Star Season Hosting Essentials is a special initiative by Visit Greater Palm Springs to bring area short-term rental hosts and managers everything you need for a great guest experience during our most popular travel season. From tips to fill your calendar, to travel trends, to answers to your FAQs, Five-Star Season is your one-stop shop for the ultimate hosting experience.

Visit Greater Palm Springs is the official tourism marketing agency for the Coachella Valley. Founded in May 1989 by a Joint Powers Authority comprising the cities of Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta and Indio, Visit Greater Palm Springs was created as a public-private partnership to help grow the region’s tourism economy. We promote our unique and diverse destination to the world while advancing regional collaboration to improve the quality of life for our residents and partners.

Rent Responsibly is proud to partner with Visit Greater Palm Springs and power this campaign. The community-building and education platform empowers STR communities to collaborate and further responsible renting for the benefit of people, places, and planet.
