Founder, Vacation Rental Marketing Blog

Matt Landau is the voice of vacation rental independence. After launching Los Cuatro Tulipanes, one of the first vacation rental businesses in the emerging historic district of Casco Viejo, Panama, Matt learned the challenges of community building from the ground up, co-founding a gang intervention program called Esperanza Social Venture Club, which demobilizes street gangs through entrepreneurship. Matt applied his real world community-building experience to the creation of a virtual community in the form of VRMB, widely recognized as the top online marketing resource in the industry, as well as VRMB’s Inner Circle, a private community of vacation rental owners and managers. Matt is also the host of A Sense of Place, the world’s first vacation rental-themed travel show.

We’d recommend coming a day or two early to explore our city! We’ll even share our city guide filled with our team’s favorite things to do around here.
