Hosting is stressful. Let’s talk about it.
Behind every smooth check-in and 5-star review is a property manager answering late-night messages, handling complaints, worrying about reviews, and staying “always available”.
In short-term rentals, you’re not just managing properties. You’re managing expectations, emotions, and constant pressure.
And while the industry celebrates perfect experiences, very few conversations focus on the reality behind the scenes: burnout, emotional fatigue, and the mental load of always being on.
The Mental Health of Property Managers: Building Resilience in a High-Pressure Environment
At this year’s Short Stay Conference Athens 2026, Stelios Christakis, the Co-Founder & CEO of Tourmie, is hosting a practical workshop dedicated to a topic our industry doesn’t talk about enough — the mental health of property managers.
This session is about building resilience in a role that demands constant responsiveness, patience, and professionalism, often without clear boundaries or recovery time.
We’ll explore why the “always available” mindset has become the norm in hospitality, how daily micro-stress accumulates over time, and why sustainable performance requires better systems, clearer boundaries, and smarter ways of handling pressure.
Because burnout in this industry doesn’t usually come from one bad guest. It comes from hundreds of small moments, repeated every day.
This workshop is designed as an open and practical session for hosts and property managers who want to keep delivering great guest experiences — without sacrificing their own wellbeing in the process.
