Homestay listings and revenue.
Given the emergence of online accommodation platforms like Airbnb and Luxstay, travelers now have more options to book for their accommodation across the world. Technologies are indeed helping reshape the habit of customers and the growth of the accommodation market.
Homestay accommodation is often designed for short-term stays and its revenue is estimated to be 20 to 30 per cent higher than traditional hotel or motel accommodations. The profit can even go as high as 200-300 per cent if the accommodations are located within the tourist attraction areas.
