In recent years, the number of tourists who choose to try the experience of vacation rental, homestay, has steadily increased. These so-called “local” rentals have many social and economic advantages, and now stand out as direct competitors to traditional hotels. What are you going to choose for your next vacation?
The classic hotel for security
Classic hotels represent the oldest forms of accommodation in the tourism sector. All over the world, sleeping in hotels remains the safest way to stay abroad. Thanks to many hotel rating sites now available on the Internet, it is becoming increasingly easy to find good accommodation in each country visited. Travelers also use social media a lot these days to pin down the wrong places and promote the best. Internet users around the world are now ready to help travelers choose their hotels better. In addition, there are also the reference sites that rank the best hotels in the world, where to stay for your vacation.
Thanks to the online reservations service, travelers benefit from very competitive rates for the choice of their hotel. It is even possible to cancel a reservation at the last minute, on some platforms.
But all the services relating to a hotel service are often very expensive. It is above all about the brand image of the establishment, the infrastructure, and the personnel necessary for the proper functioning of the whole. Between breakfast, room service, and extras of all kinds, the price of a night at the hotel often exceeds any budget.
On the other hand, living in a hotel is not really the ideal way to discover a city, especially if it is in a tourist region. There is certainly nothing better than to dive directly into the daily life of an inhabitant so as not to miss any of the tourist wonders of a region.
Airbnb for unusual vacations
Airbnb is a short-term rental platform between individuals. The site, created in 2008 by a group of friends from San Francisco, is now enjoying global success. The site brings together different kinds of offers, each just as exceptional. From an apartment in Rome, to a chalet in the Alps, to a room in the heart of Paris, there is certainly accommodation for all tastes and budgets on Airbnb.
A seasonal rental on Airbnb costs two to four times less than a hotel. It goes without saying that renting a small apartment in the center of a tourist town will cost less than a hotel room under the same conditions. In addition, renting an entire apartment allows you to do just about everything at home: shopping, meals, daily organization, laundry, etc. Obviously, it will be a bit far from the comfort of the hotel, but it will allow you to fully enjoy your vacation without breaking the bank.
In recent years, homestay rentals are also the new trend for tourism. Discover a tourist city as if you lived there, vibrate under the lively atmosphere of the most popular tourist districts, these are the kind of unusual experiences that the Airnb platform offers you on every trip. Going off the beaten track in limited tourist areas, you will have the opportunity to discover the charm of a city by rubbing shoulders with its inhabitants. All the daily details of your stay will certainly make unforgettable memories. Traveling with Airbnb means breaking the rules of the standard to make many extraordinary encounters.
The impact of Airbnb agencies in this area:
The advantages of renting between individuals compared to hotel accommodation are undoubtedly numerous. Very quickly, these were reinforced by the know-how of short-term rental agencies specializing in rental between individuals. Those known as “airbnb agencies”, “concierge agencies” or even “seasonal rental management agencies” have taken advantage of their professionalism for this type of rental, to the satisfaction of travelers. Indeed, it is difficult to improvise a real estate agent or a short-term rental specialist as an owner, rental management being a profession in itself.
Rental management agencies, like our Airbnb Cannes agency bring added value noticed and appreciated by travelers. We provide complete and individualized support to owners of real estate in terms of their management. We help them in all facets of their rental management so as to maximize the occupancy rate but also rental rates for more relevance and better meet the demands of travelers. Concretely, this involves professional cleaning services, the progressive and automatic replacement of all consumables (soaps, cleaning products, toilet paper, etc.) as well as the replacement of household linen. these concierge services, placed end to end, significantly increase the comfort and quality of rental accommodation.
In addition, our Airbnb agency welcomes tenants in the best conditions, introduces them to the accommodation and its specific features and also supports travelers during their stay by advising them on places to visit, good advice and good local addresses. Enough to ensure an optimal stay for all travelers. We also ensure their satisfaction throughout the stay and at the end of it and invite them to post their opinions on online platforms. All this allows the owner to maximize the interest of his home in terms of property income while making it exceptional and appreciated by travelers who are fond of Airbnb rentals.
