The Estes Area STR Community’s Conduit to the National STR Community
EVSTRA maintains robust connections within the STR community, extending from Colorado to a national scale. As a Founding Member of CLARA, we are pivotal in developing equitable and impactful policies to enhance Colorado’s tourism economy. Our partnership with Rent Responsibly keeps us interlinked with premier STR alliances nationwide. This alliance garners us access to invaluable resources from eminent entities like Expedia Group and the Vacation Rental Management Association (www.vrma.org), an international organization devoted to providing educational and professional development opportunities, including extensive resources that support advocacy of the vacation home industry at the local level. Our engagement with these bodies underscores our commitment to advancing the vacation rental sector and equipping our members with essential tools and insights for prosperity. Moreover, EVSTRA’s Board Members have established substantial connections with influential figures and organizations in the industry, providing insider knowledge and influence in shaping local STR activities, ensuring our members are effectively represented and abreast of developments pertinent to their interests.
What is the alliance doing for me?
EVSTRA is the unified voice representing responsible STRs to our policymakers and broader community. Our volunteer leadership, together with our partners, keep a close watch on what’s happening with the city and throughout the industry to keep you up-to-date on everything you need to know, advocate for you, and help you best advocate for yourself.
Where do my dollars go?
Membership dues cover the things volunteer hours can’t. A portion of them cover our operating expenses, such as website maintenance, accounting and software, and the remainder go toward specialized services, such as PR, lobbying and legal support.
Everything You Need
Professionalize
Whether you’re new to hosting or having been doing STRs for years, there’s always something new to learn! We will bring you the latest in best practices, technology, and solutions to our everyday challenges.
Narrative Building
No matter how rare, party houses and bad incidents at STRs grab headlines. One of our most important efforts is building a more accurate picture of all the good STRs create for our community. We work hard to change the narrative around private accommodations by educating our peers and spotlighting the wonderful people behind STRs through traditional media, new media and digital strategies, and in-person connections.
Support Advocacy
Advocacy is not something done only when something’s under consideration at City Hall. Advocacy is a year-round team sport.
Network and Connect
It’s hard to connect with others in the STR industry, especially these last two years. As a member, you’ll have lots of opportunities to connect with others online, in virtual events, and in person to share ideas, ask questions, solve mutual challenges, and create partnerships.
Stay up to date
Staying informed on everything happening in Arizona is hard to do. That’s why our volunteer board and partners work hard at keeping a pulse on news and regulations and making sure you stay in the know. Our members will get the most detailed information available, plus insight on how you can take effective action.
