Is ASTRO a booking site?

No. ASTRO is the Association of Short-Term Rental Owners — a membership organization with a canonical property registry and the ASTRO Exchange. Public property pages are for identity and discovery, not guest booking or checkout.

How do STR owners exchange stays?

Verified members use the ASTRO Exchange to request and host owner-to-owner stays within the network. Travelcoin is the internal accounting unit for relative stay value within the ASTRO Exchange — not cash, not cryptocurrency, and not a public currency.

Travelcoin is ASTRO’s internal accounting unit used to measure relative stay value within the ASTRO Exchange. It is not money, not a bank balance, not transferable outside the system, has no cash-equivalent meaning, and is not a cryptocurrency.

Are public property pages the same as joining the ASTRO Network?

Public registry pages support identity and discovery without acting as a booking checkout layer. Full participation in the verified ASTRO Network and the Owners Exchange follows verification and membership rules in the application. ASTRO does not take booking commissions in the sense described on the public site; specific program or membership terms appear in-product when applicable.
