Eclectic Overnight

P2P hospitality companies offer more unique, one-of-a-kind housing options

Trend - Seeking to create more personalized overnight experiences, P2P hotel rentals like Airbnb are expanding their options to include unique, outside-the-box options for guests looking for something a little bit different. Moving beyond just minimalist aesthetics and high-end decor, alternative options are emerging that speak to more kitschy, non-typical overnight stays.

Insight - The growth of the hospitality space has coincided with the growing consumer desire for one-of-a-kind experiences. This desire is fueled by social media's influence on consumers–where the most visually interesting experiences and adventures are able to gain traction among peers. Thus, travel brands that are able to facilitate unique experiences for tourists are able to gain an advantage–particularly among younger demographics.
Workshop Question - How might you evolve your product or service experiences to be more memorable and unique? What alternative options could you provide?
