# Stays > Stays is a marketing and media group that promotes short-term rental properties. Hosts and property management companies use Stays to run promotional campaigns for their properties across curated social media outlets, while travelers discover unique stays through the Stays directory and book directly with the host — Stays is not a booking platform and charges travelers nothing. Hosts manage promotions, amplifications, and giveaways from the host portal. Travelers can browse the stay directory, explore curated collections, and follow featured stays on social media. ## Key Pages - [Stay Directory](https://stays.co/directory): Browse all promoted stays -
