Awaze Limited is a leading vacation rental management company based in the United Kingdom, with operations extending across Europe. First registered with the EU Transparency Register on April 21, 2023, Awaze Limited’s primary mission is to manage and promote short-term rental accommodations, including holiday homes and vacation resorts, making it a significant player in Europe’s travel and tourism landscape. The company’s remit is inclusive of engaging with EU institutions regarding tourism policies and taxation that directly impact the short-term rental sector. Awaze’s vision aligns with building an effective voice for its interests within legislative and regulatory developments affecting the industry.
The company’s lobbying activity is focused on influencing policy decisions that pertain particularly to short-term rentals and related taxation issues. Awaze Limited is also a member of the European Holiday Homes Association, reflecting its integration with broader trade representation in the sector. The company has declared its main target within the EU institutions as participation in policies and dialogues affecting its industry, specifically around tourism policy. Although Awaze does not currently have any lobbyists accredited to the European Parliament and does not declare past or present meetings with EU institutions, it remains active through indirect lobbying, notably through intermediary organizations such as Flint Europe.
Financially, Awaze’s declared lobbying expenditure for its first closed financial year (April 2023–March 2024) is between €50,000 and €99,999, with €25,000–€49,999 of that spent via Flint Europe as an external intermediary. The company’s financial disclosures indicate a lean approach to direct lobbying, with only a single lobbyist (0.1 FTE) listed, emphasizing targeted expenditures and strategic affiliations.
As of now, Awaze Limited is not registered as a participant in any European Commission groups. In the European Parliament, the only public group affiliation is with SME activities. No meetings with high-level EU officials have been declared to date, suggesting that Awaze’s approach may focus more on sectoral advocacy through affiliations rather than direct institution engagement.
