Getaway Helps Bostonians with Living Tiny and Recharging Away from the City

— July 25, 2015 — Lifestyle
Designed to help you get out of the city and relax, this startup emphasizes living tiny. The result of Harvard innovation incubator Millennial Housing Lab, the startup Getaway is bringing tiny houses to the masses.

The rustic and super small accommodations are a part of a bigger lifestyle that is about living simply, being eco-conscious, increased financial security and self-sufficiency as well as more adventure. The mobile cabins are Getaway's way of helping to build what they refer to as the Tiny House Movement. Living tiny has lots of benefits, from lower costs to reduced environmental impact and a healthier lifestyle.

Choosing Getaway in particular helps people recharge and reconnect to nature while also supporting the local economy. You can book a minuscule space online and navigate to a secret location near Boston.
Trend Themes
1. Tiny House Movement - The trend towards smaller, more sustainable living may create opportunities for innovative new housing designs and energy-efficient technologies.
2. Eco-tourism - The rise of eco-conscious travelers seeking sustainable and authentic travel experiences may create a demand for mobile, off-grid accommodations like Getaway's micro cabins.
3. Local Travel - As travelers seek closer-to-home alternatives, the demand for localized and nature-centric travel experiences may create opportunities for businesses offering unique and off-grid accommodations like Getaway.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - Traditional hospitality companies may benefit from incorporating more eco-conscious and tiny house accommodations into their offerings.
2. Construction - The construction industry may find opportunities to develop more sustainable and off-grid housing designs and technologies.
3. Tourism - Tourism boards and travel companies could benefit from promoting localized, nature-based travel experiences and collaborating with innovative eco-conscious accommodation providers like Getaway.
