Greater independent. Stronger together.
Together, we represent over half of the ~$1 trillion hospitality industry and recirculate 3x more revenue back into local communities than foreign-owned chains do. Apart, we depend too heavily on booking websites, who take all 100% of our data and make us pay 50-150% higher commissions than chains and franchises pay.
So, we are uniting a global community and building a hospitality company we all own.
Our 3 I's
Our 3 I's are the three principles defining the hosts we are looking for and the hospitality we are fighting for.
Inspiring People
Independently-owned and professionally-operated...
Incredible Places
...alternative accommodations with a purpose or passion beyond just a place to stay...
Impactful Planet
...for guests to maximize the impact of their travels locally, globally, and personally.
