The vacation industry has changed a lot thanks to technology innovations. Just consider the fact there's an entire generation of adults, old enough to be homeowners with kids, who have only ever booked hotel accommodations on a mobile app. I can absolutely confirm that, because that's me.

But over the last few years, it hasn't just been the way we book vacation travel that technology has changed, its what we book. Thanks to innovations like Airbnb, you no longer have to stay in a hotel or motel on your trip. Now people can rent homes and properties through individuals using the Airbnb model.
