Vacation Rentals are businesses. And like all small businesses, customer service is sometimes more dependent on the proprietor than on the property. Remember that Vacation Rentals are not like, let's say, Bed and Breakfast operations. The manager/owner is seldom on site.

But Managers, Staff and Owners can make a big difference in guest satisfaction. And their ability to achieve that may be dependent on their knowledge and training. That is where VRAI comes in.
