Resort Management System and VRMA
 

 RMS has enjoyed a long and mutually beneficial relationship with VRMA, the Vacation Rental Managers Association. RMS software was already in use in 1985 the year VRMA was formed. As the vacation rental industry has grown and changed so has RMS and VRMA.

RMS staff members recently attended the Annual VRMA Eastern Seminar in Myrtle Beach, SC. As always the event was an excellent educational opportunity for vacation rental managers to attend workshops on relevant topics and learn new strategies in business as well as network with other industry leaders. Vendors had the opportunity to showcase their products and services, such as RMS, which demonstrated its comprehensive vacation rental software and informed attendees about the newest features available in RMS.

The 24th Annual Conference for VRMA is scheduled for October 25th through the 29th.   The event will take place at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. The conference features both general sessions and small workshops to discuss key issues affecting vacation rental management and operation.   Suppliers, such as RMS will be on hand to demonstrate their latest products and services. Attendees may also want to plan to enjoy the beautiful sites and tour the area while visiting.
