Today’s NEW Landlord

Have you ever wondered what it would be like … welcoming world travelers to share your “Home Sweet Home”? Can you picture yourself using your hosting, cooking and decorating ideas to bring unforgettable memories to an International Guest? As a Homestay Host, you can live in and work from your home, as well as meet new and interesting visitors from all over the world!

An empty bedroom or two or maybe even three! A guesthouse or maybe an entire apartment! All of these vacant rooms can become Guest accommodations and work to earn some additional income. Guests will stay and are prepared to pay for the comfort of your home.

In our busy, often chaotic world of juggling work and family, many people are re-examining their ideals, priorities and lifestyles. With inflation, taxes and the cost of owning and running a home increasing, more and more people are looking for alternative ways to supplement their income by working from their home. For many homeowners Homestay is the answer!

“Culture-Travel” has created its own industry! With international boundaries lifting, the nations of the world are blending together creating this wonderful cultural fusion. Countless young people are continuing their post-secondary education abroad. Many interns, working professionals and exploring adults are traveling by using work, student and visitor visas to increase their experience with other cultures and languages. A great many of these “International Guests” are coming to Canada, the U.S., Europe, Australia and New Zealand.Although we don’t think of education as an industry, that’s exactly what it is. And, on a worldwide scale, it’s worth billions! With all this currency arriving into the local economies, homeowners are opening up their doors and welcoming this cultural exchange and opportunities provided by these foreign visitors.

Homestay provides the opportunity to use that “extra” bedroom as Guest accommodation and offer a safe, welcoming “home-away-from–home” environment for International Visitors from around the world. What a great way to really get to know people from other cultures AND to put your home to work!

There is such an increased demand for Homestay accommodation it has become the fastest growing segment of the accommodation industry. It is the most often-used manner of accommodation for overseas Guests, and countless people are inviting these Guests to stay in their homes.
