Do you really know which tourist accommodations are active in your area?

Short-term rental platforms are continuously evolving.

New listings appear. Others disappear. Information is modified. Multiple listings may represent the same accommodation. And the information displayed online does not always match official data or applicable regulations.

Echo monitors these changes for you.

Developed by Lodixa, Echo is a monitoring and analysis platform for the tourist accommodation market designed for municipalities, tourism organizations, and public institutions.

From detection to intervention

1

We detect

Echo performs regular scans of short-term rental offers in your area.

2

We cross-reference the data

Echo identifies accommodations and links listings to the various available data sources.

3

Echo analyzes according to your rules

Your regulations, thresholds, and criteria are integrated into our detection mechanism.

4

Your teams verify and intervene

Risky or potentially non-compliant situations are identified for targeted actions.

Echo analyzes the market

The platform periodically scans short-term rental listings and transforms the collected information into structured data.

Your organization thus obtains a clearer picture of the accommodations present in its territory and the listings associated with them.

Echo allows you to track:

  • The detected accommodations and listings;
  • The new listings;
  • The removed listings;
  • The displayed regulatory information;
  • The capacity and certain characteristics of the accommodations;
  • The changes made to the listings;
  • The evolution of the market over time.

Echo detects changes

A listing is not a static data.

Between two analyses, Echo can identify new listings, removed listings, and modifications made to already known information.

A change in registration number, capacity, location, or other important information can thus be detected automatically.

Rather than constantly restarting a manual search, your teams can focus their attention on what has actually changed.


Your regulations become detection criteria

Each territory has its own regulatory reality.

Echo allows for the establishment of detection mechanisms tailored to the municipal and provincial regulations applicable in your territory.

The relevant rules, thresholds, and criteria can be integrated into the analysis mechanisms to automatically identify listings that present a potentially non-compliant situation.

According to your regulations and the available data, Echo can notably detect:

  • An announced capacity exceeding the authorized limit;
  • An absent, expired, or potentially invalid registration number;
  • An advertisement located in an area where tourist accommodation is prohibited or restricted;
  • A potential exceedance of a maximum number of nights or days of operation;
  • Displayed information that does not match official data;
  • Multiple advertisements potentially associated with the same accommodation;
  • A modification likely to affect the compliance of an establishment;
  • Any other criteria that may be established from your regulations and available data.

Is your regulation evolving? 

Detection criteria may evolve with it.

Echo thus allows for the creation of monitoring tailored to your territory rather than applying the same rules to all municipalities.


Identify situations that truly require your attention

Echo does not replace the analytical or regulatory enforcement work of your teams.

The platform acts as a detection tool.

When an advertisement meets a defined criterion, presents an inconsistency, or requires verification, Echo can flag it for your teams to review.

L'objectif : Réduire les recherches manuelles et concentrer vos ressources sur les situations présentant le plus grand potentiel de non-conformité.

Cross-reference the advertisements with your data

When official data sources are available, Echo can compare the information observed on the platforms with various reference data.

Provincial registers, municipal data, permits, zoning, or other relevant sources can help enrich validation and detection mechanisms.

This combination allows you to move from a simple list of listings to a true market monitoring tailored to your territory.

Echo retains the history

Each scan contributes to building a historical knowledge of the market.

Your organization can thus understand how the supply evolves and trace the changes observed over time.

This information supports both compliance activities and a better understanding of the evolution of tourist accommodation in your territory.

Echo centralizes the information

Listings, accommodations, official sources, detected changes, history, and elements requiring special attention are grouped in the same environment.

Less manual searching. 

More visibility. 

Better-targeted interventions.
