How are hotels responding to Airbnb types?

According to HVS, hotel-lodging demand has actually been increasing since 2010 and should continue to rise - challenging those that consider AIRBNB as a risk to the hotel industry.

Airbnb Vs. Hotels

While using residential and multi-family properties for vacations rentals is nothing new, the rising trend of using one’s home as a de-facto hotel can largely be attributed to websites such as VRBO, Airbnb and Flipkey. The hassles of marketing are largely handled by them, leaving only the extra troubles of management to the property owner.

This pattern is raising many questions, one of which is the impact this trend is having on Hotels and Resorts. Interestingly, despite the enormous growth vacation rentals are experiencing, hotel-lodging demand isn’t declining. According to HVS, hotel-lodging demand has been increasing since 2010 and another study completed by PricewaterhouseCoopers expects this trend to continue through the remainder of 2015.

Publicly both the hotel industry and Airbnb are attributing these statistics to the fact that they offer a completely different experience, something they both insist on. Following an interview with Mark Hoplamazian, CEO of Hyatt, Michael Santoli wrote that Hoplamazian has indicated he sees “no need for a direct business response to Airbnb, in part because it is offering a fundamentally different product than his branded hotels.” If both Airbnb and Hoplamazian are right, then it may be that Airbnb alternatives are creating net new demand for longer term less expensive more do-it-yourself lodging. B&B’s may be more affected than traditional hotels.

While hotel associations haven’t been publicly fighting for an end to Airbnb, they have been adamantly fighting for regulation, in their eyes to level the playing field. Interstate Hotels CEO Jim Abrahamson, chairman of the American Hotel & Lodging Association has said, “We’re not going to stop them, but they have to be regulated.” Airbnb seems to agree. Recently they have begun striking deals with municipalities to tax their guests and remit the payment directly, the same way other lodging establishments currently do.

Is there room for both actors to play by the same rules and offer their different products? Publicly both seem to think so, but only time will tell. Perhaps the battle is still in its infancy, or maybe it’s going to take our next deep recession for the fight to really begin.

    I was curious if you ever thought of changing the
    page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what
    youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.

    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2
    images. Maybe you could space it out better?

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. Nevertheless think of if you added some great graphics
    or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this website could definitely be one of the greatest in its niche.
    Superb blog!

    Hi! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are
    you using for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of
    Wordpress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another
    platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website.

    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging
    to get that “perfect balance” between usability and appearance.
    I must say you’ve done a very good job with this.
    In addition, the blog loads very fast for me
    on Opera. Outstanding Blog!

    It’s genuinely very difficult in this active life to listen news on Television, therefore I only use internet for that purpose, and get the newest news.
