The way we travel is changing very fast
Advertorial Feature
Have you had enough of standardized hotel rooms when travelling? Have you had enough of staying in the same exact hotels over and over again anywhere in the world? If you have, then maybe staying in a local apartment is the solution. More and more owners rent their apartment or their house to earn money while travelling, because many new online private accommodation platforms have been recently created. It is the easiest and most profitable way to make the most out of your apartment and for travellers, it is a great way to cut travel expenses!
The way we travel is changing very fast. With all the communication means we have access to today, some would tend to think that people would buy more package and pre-organized holidays, but it is not true! Then trend of 2012 is to book local apartments instead of going in the same hotels and following the same tourists over and over again. Innovative companies such as Wimdu spotted this trend early on and developed a business that would help people rent local apartments anywhere in the world. Wimdu created an online platform where holiday property owners can list their accommodation and where tourists willing to rent those accommodations to get off the beaten track can choose between all of the listings using a wide range of filters
The idea of Wimdu has been a great success all around the world: over 100,000 registered users and over 50,000 accommodations listed! The reasons of this success are very easy to identify: great value for money, a more authentic experience, and the feeling of being at home anywhere around the world! But the profound reasons of its success it that it embodies perfectly the “Social travelling” trend. This trend describes a new way to travel where you are more concerned about local culture and human contact than going to the touristic spots. If you rent an apartment, you will have the chance to meet the hosts, who will provide useful inside tips about what to see in their city, which is also in the whole “culture mix” idea that Wimdu promotes.
