Also, first thing, AirBNB is a platform where you list your Short Term Rental. 

Is that something you're offering on other platforms as well? 

I agree that the best way to make money is self manage your short term rental (not AirBNB, that is a platform).

Reverse engineer the list of most recently acquired hospitality business built or bought within the 30-40mile radius, You’d be puzzled at how much capital they have to play with.Crowdfunding or Real Estate Syndication: Platforms dedicated to real estate investment might have investors interested in backing a boutique hotel project.

I think it stems from the question asker not having enough information and knowledge to ask a good question.

I am sure the STR  platforms have probably been contacted by the authorities

Meetup and eventbrite seem to be the other platforms that people post them in.

Just work the platform.

I wish you the best of luck building your business on another platform.
