Today’s convention-goers are increasingly opting to stay in vacation homes rather than hotels/motels. The reasons are varied, but most corporate and business travelers prefer the accommodations and home comforts of vacation homes.
Alternative to crowded and cramped hotels
Today’s vacation homes combine spacious luxury and functional practicality. They offer more rooms and more rooms per room, much more than a hotel or motel for the same price. Most typically have four to five bedrooms with 2.5 to 3 baths. This allows a small group or sales team to spread out and prepare for the next seminar, meeting, or presentation. The houses also have the latest connectivity tools such as high speed internet and WiFi.
Close to the main convention centers
Most vacation homes are conveniently located near today’s most popular convention centers. By being just minutes from convention activities, teams and groups save local travel time. If not within walking distance, many homes are conveniently located near public transportation, or vans and buses operated by the convention center.
Cheaper for small teams, groups
When small teams or groups of convention attendees stay in a hotel or motel, costs can skyrocket quickly. Expensive suites with separate rooms can quickly deplete the funds needed for convention attendees. Vacation homes, on the other hand, offer a single, lower rate for the entire group to keep costs in check. Dining expenses can also get out of control quickly, especially when everyone in the team or group is eating at a hotel/motel or outside restaurant. Most vacation homes feature gourmet kitchens with stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave and double oven, pots, pans, dishware, and more, so everyone on the team can eat three full meals a day. . Making these homes even more affordable, many also come with a washer and dryer to save on laundry costs. Some houses even offer housekeeping services.
Full range of entertainment options
Attendees can relax in a vacation home. In addition to elegant and spacious living rooms, most houses have big screen televisions, video game consoles, board games, poker and foosball tables. The houses also have a fireplace and air conditioning to guarantee comfort throughout the year. And they have totally private enclosed pools and relaxing spas or jacuzzis for the exclusive use of the group, without sharing these amenities with strangers.
Private barbecues, pools and spas create a spirit of crops
The private nature of a vacation home can help build the team spirit of a team of convention attendees. Most homes feature a BBQ and spacious patio overlooking a sparkling pool and spa, plus a large outdoor dining table with comfortable seating for the whole crew.
