New service offers discreet rentals, secure home swaps, and all-in-one management tools for property owners seeking privacy and control
Truckee, CA, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As cities across the globe, including New York City and Barcelona, tighten regulations on short-term rentals, Twimo has launched a private, flexible platform for vacation homeowners seeking an alternative to public listing sites like Airbnb. Twimo allows homeowners to discreetly rent, share, or swap their properties within a trusted network, providing more control, security, and privacy.
Twimo, a vacation home management platform, introduces a private and secure way for homeowners to share, rent, and swap properties within a trusted network
Twimo was created for homeowners who want to utilize their vacation homes without renting to unknown guests. Whether sharing with friends and family, renting within a community network, or participating in global home swaps, Twimo offers a range of secure features without exposing listings to the general public. Each host receives a personalized, password-protected booking link that can be shared privately, allowing guests to view availability and request bookings without back-and-forth communication.
In addition to private rentals, Twimo offers an exclusive Home Swap Network, where verified hosts can trade homes with others around the world.Unlike traditional swap platforms that require credits or point systems, Twimo offers unlimited home swaps included with your Twimo membership.
Beyond bookings, Twimo provides a suite of management tools tailored for vacation homeowners. Hosts can add service vendors, schedule recurring cleanings, and make payments directly through Venmo—all within the platform. An integrated calendar syncs with iCal, Gmail, and Airbnb, giving users a unified view of bookings, cleanings, swaps, and personal stays.
Security and guest verification are central to Twimo's model. The platform integrates with Stripe Identity and Truvi Know Your Guest to ensure hosts can confidently rent to verified individuals. All financial transactions are processed through Stripe and Venmo, with added fraud protection via Stripe Radar. Twimo charges no service fees, allowing homeowners to retain more of their rental income.
As local governments introduce more restrictions on public vacation rentals, Twimo presents a timely solution that supports privacy, compliance, and personal connection. The platform empowers homeowners to make smarter use of their properties without compromising control or security.
Twimo is now live and welcoming new hosts. For more information or to join the platform, visit www.twimo.com.

Norway to introduce tourist tax amid record visitor numbers and overtourism concerns
Norway is set to become the latest European destination to introduce a tourist tax to combat concerns about rising visitor numbers. Lawmakers approved the new levy on Thursday, which allows municipalities to introduce a 3 per cent tax on overnight stays in 'areas particularly affected by tourism'. The law allows local authorities to apply the tax at their own discretion, and it will be added to accommodation charges. Authorities will also be allowed to adjust the percentage based on the season. The funds raised by the tax will be used exclusively to improve tourism infrastructure projects that benefit both visitors and local people. Municipalities will have to demonstrate that their facilities are inadequate and have their plans approved by the government to spend the funds. Cecilie Myrseth, Norway's minister of trade and industry, said on social media that her government had reached a 'historic agreement' to introduce a tourism tax that was 'in line with what they have in the rest of Europe'. Related Ibiza caps tourist cars this summer: Here's what you need to know before you travel Planning a holiday in Europe this year? All of 2025's tourist taxes, bans and restrictions explained The country is the latest in a string of European nations introducing or increasing visitor levies to tackle the growing problem of overtourism. A tax may also be applied to cruise ships that make stops in the country, particularly in areas that are most affected by overtourism. As tourists increasingly choose cooler, northern European destinations to get away from the heat, Norway has experienced a boom in visitor numbers. Last year, a record-breaking 38.6 million people booked accommodation in the country. That includes more than 12 million overnight stays by foreign tourists - a 4.2 per cent increase from 2023. Some previously quiet destinations have been overwhelmed, like the Lofoten islands, where eye-catching images of hiking trails posted on social media have led to an influx of visitors. With a population of 24,500 people distributed across several small towns and villages, keeping up with the cost of all these new visitors has been hard. A recent survey by industry organisation Norwegian Tourism Partners found that 77 per cent of people in Tromsø, in northern Norway above the Arctic Circle, thought there were too many tourists there. Visitors have been drawn by the Northern Lights, wildlife excursions, Sami cultural experiences and what the city itself has to offer.

Facilities like public toilets and car parks have been overwhelmed in popular destinations. Some residents have even reported cases of people using their back gardens as toilets, and bemoaned the increased traffic clogging up Norway's roads.

Downtown Austin Space Activation program brings in more visitors
AUSTIN (KXAN) — More people are visiting downtown Austin. According to the Downtown Austin Alliance, foot traffic is up thanks to a program it launched a year ago. The Downtown Austin Space Activation program transforms vacant storefronts and underutilized spaces into affordable options for local creatives and small businesses to host pop-up shops and events. 'We set it up in an Airbnb style sort of format, where you could activate a space at a daily rate, because we understood that people wanted space temporarily. They wanted to do events,' said DAA Chief Impact Officer Jenell Moffett. The DAA started this last summer. Since then, it has been activated more than 500 times. 'Nonprofits that have had this space to have panel discussions and community conversations,' Moffett said. 'We've also had events where there's been kids and, you know, sort of creative spaces where youth can come.' PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Downtown Austin program fills empty storefronts with pop-ups, events Moffett called their first year pop-up focused, as they tried to get more visitors into downtown. 'We have seen foot traffic increase year over year about 10% in these activated spaces.' Jenell Moffett, Downtown Austin Alliance Chief Impact Officer The DAA said half of participating businesses have been minority-owned and more than a quarter are women-owned businesses. She said moving forward, they have goals to expand into more long-term leases. 'We had several requests for longer time,' Moffett said. 'We didn't have enough spaces to actually support that demand.' The plan is to now find additional spaces. 'Additional partners, additional coaching, additional business development tools, so that these businesses can actually have the option to stay,' Moffett said. The DAA plans to release its first ever impact report for the program during an open house on July 10. People interested in participating in the program can apply online.

Ironman race expected to bring $2M boost to WMass
SPRINGFIELD – The winning time for last year's Ironman 70.3 Western Massachusetts triathlon was 3 hours, 58 minutes and 45 seconds. But for Springfield business, the winning number is $2 million. That, says Mary Kay Wydra, is the estimated local economic impact the race will have on the region, as it brings nearly 1,400 athletes and their boosters to the Pioneer Valley for Sunday's race. That money will be spent on meals, lodging, admission to other attractions, salaries and other things. 'Any time downtown sees an increase in foot traffic, event participation, it benefits all businesses,' said Raymond Berry, president and general manager of White Lion Brewing. 'The spillover hits the restaurants, the entertainment district, the hotels.' White Lion is in Tower Square, near the race finish line on Court Square and the 'athletes' village' in the MassMutual Center. Registrations of 1,380 heading into race week are basically on par with 2024's numbers and ahead of the inaugural race in 2023, Wydra said. Hotels in the area are full. But that might be because of other events, like high school graduations or Springfield's Pride festival. Most Ironman athletes from out of town stay over because of the need to check in at the MassMutual Center either Friday or Saturday and attend a course safety meeting. Competitors from out of town are likely to use a service like Airbnb versus a hotel, Wydra said. Top competitors have nutritional regimes and like to have access to a kitchen. Local participants include a relay team of Westfield Mayor Michael McCabe, West Springfield Mayor William Reichelt and West Springfield State Rep. Michael Finn. Finn will swim, McCabe will run and Reichelt will bike, Wydra said. The Ironman Group is owned by Advance, parent company of The Republican and MassLive. The local Ironman will have 100 additional volunteers in its third year, for a new total of more than 820 people staffing aid stations, lifeguarding, patrolling the Connecticut River in kayaks or checking in athletes prior to race day. The race begins at about 6 a.m. Sunday at the Pioneer Valley Riverfront Club in North Riverfront Park with a 1.2-mile point-to-point swim in the Connecticut River. The swim will be followed by a 56-mile bicycle course that heads west into the Hilltowns and back and finishes with a 13.1-mile run from downtown through Springfield's Forest Park and back. Maps are available online at The Connecticut River is the most variable player in the day, capable of changing. Race director Roland Nel said Wednesday the water is tested for contaminants and bacteria starting two weeks before race day. But heavy rains – even rain well upriver in Vermont and New Hampshire — can change conditions quickly, said Ben Quick, executive director of the Pioneer Valley Riverfront Club. Spring rains had an effect on the Connecticut. 'I would say cantankerous,' Quick said. But the weather has been better, putting the river in a better mood. 'At the moment it is on a trajectory to be perfect conditions for race day,' he said. According to the National Weather Service, the Connecticut River at Springfield was at 76.6 feet above sea level on Wednesday and expected to drop further before the weekend Flood stage is 20 feet or higher. Good conditions are ideal for a high-profile event and can help get more people interested in recreation on the Connecticut. 'We consider the Ironman event a fantastic promotion for all the things we support,' Quick said. 'Which is getting people excited about outdoor, on-water recreation.' The club has about 100 participants now, a number that'll double when kayaking begins June 14. 'That is most people's first exposure ... which we are happy to provide,' he said. The Springfield Sprints rowing regatta will be held June 14, the first full-scale regatta on this section of the Connecticut River since 1985, Quick said. Dale Glenn of Holyoke is the Ironman 70.3 Western Massachusetts volunteer coordinator. This year, those helping include Scout groups, teachers and students. 'I'm proud of that,' Glenn said. She got involved because friends were competing. She wasn't able to make that commitment, but wanted to be a part of Ironman. Nel said volunteers keep the athletes going. 'We are elevating our athletes' experiences (by) getting the community involved,' he said. 'We are trying to make it so that when athletes come, they are inspired to carry on.' The Pioneer Valley event is popular with triathletes because its course mimics the twice-as-long Ironman in Lake Placid, New York, in July. 'The hilly climbs of Western Massachusetts are similar to Lake Placid,' Nel said. 'Racing here is a good indication of how the legs are feeling for Lake Placid.'
