Relevant services in accommodations for business trips

Although the location of your tourist apartment is the most important factor for the success of your accommodation for business trips, it is not the only one. You must take into account how you communicate your space. These clients prefer to use tourist accommodations instead of hotels because of the privacy they offer. However, you must help them reduce the stress and work that a business trip produces. You can take a look at what Airbnb itself says about the requirements for business travel accommodations. Among other things, your apartment must have:

  • Basic elements (toilet paper, soap, towels, sheets and pillows)
  • Autonomous arrival (a key safe, keypad lock, smart lock or picking up the key at reception or concierge)
  • Wifi
  • TV
  • Iron
  • Hair dryer
  • Hangers
  • Shampoo
  • Area to work with laptop
  • Carbon monoxide detector
  • Smoke detector

The lack of any of these items will cause stress in your client. In addition, a bad final assessment.

Set a suitable price

Business trip accommodation clients value these amenities. Not just the location or availability of the items we've described before. And ... every value has its price. Here we leave you some posts on revenue management for tourist apartments:
