We spend over $500 billion on places to stay when we travel for work and play.
Where does all that money go?
Foreign-owned chains recirculate only:
~15%
of the money they make back into local communities.
Independent hosts recirculate over:
3x more
of the money they make back into local communities.
Independent hosts are the backbone of hospitality and the anchors of local cultures, communities, and economies. But they need our help.
So, we are building the world's first community-powered hospitality collection featuring independent hosts of incredible places for inspiring people to nurture a positively impactful planet.
