Change "Hotels & Loyalty Programs" name? [Now changed to "Hotels & Places to Stay"]

Thanks, first, for the Alternative Lodging Services forum. Good stuff.

However, it wasn't immediately intuitive to me that it lives in the Hotels and Loyalty Programs category, given that the likes of AirBnB, VRBO, and others generally are not hotels and lack loyalty programs.

Question - should the forum category name be changed? Perhaps to something like "Hotel and Lodging Programs and Services"

Note that this also aligns somewhat to Dovster's question about FT's core mission. "Loyalty Programs" in the category name was intentional, as it was focused on the respective points-earning programs. However, with the rise of alternative lodgings, greater brand agnosticity and price sensitivity, the Loyalty Programs designation seems outdated.
