Move Over, Airbnb: Big Hotels Target Group Travel
Companies like Airbnb popularized vacation rentals, but these days it's the big hotel chains that are marketing them. Big hotel brands are adding vacation rental properties to their portfolios, creating new options for large groups, families and extended-stay travelers. For years, home-sharing platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo have been go-to sources for large group travel accommodations. These platforms make it easier to find multi-bedroom rentals. Often, these were more comfortable and cost-effective than spreading across multiple hotel rooms. But in recent years, peer-to-peer home rental sites have drawn scrutiny for high fees and unreliable hosts.
