MAY 28 DEADLINE - DBEDT Seeks Contractors for Vacation Rental Performance Tracking
The Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT) issues an RFP for Vacation Rental Performance Tracking data spanning January 2025 to December 2027. Contractors will provide monthly performance metrics for Hawaii's vacation rentals, ensuring stakeholders access valuable insights into this accommodations segment. Initially initiated by the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) in 2019, the project transferred to DBEDT in 2022. Data from this project is regularly published as Hawaii Vacation Rental Performance reports on DBEDT and HTA websites, fostering transparency and informed decision-making. DBEDT seeks a solution covering at least an 80 percent sample for each island, enhancing understanding of vacation rental performance statewide.
