Healthy competition is good! it breeds a better market. But it is a smart, sexy, and savvy-consumer move to widen your net. It’s not that you want to stop using Airbnb outright…especially with its many appealing perks like instant bookings. Worse yet, the platform is so damn popular that finding vacancies can often be a real struggle! Prices have inflated rivalling that of even the ‘stinkin’ hotel industry’ with hefty fees creeping in at every step of the checkout.

Top-dogs push higher prices and become bloated on their egos, which is what has happened to Airbnb. Not literally, but they are top-dog, both in the vacation home rental space and largely in the accommodation industry. The thing is that now they are the stinkin’ hotel industry. They near-single-handedly revolutionised the vacation rental industry, put power in the hands of locals, and kicked some sand in the face of stinkin’ hotels - woo! Airbnb is great! No Airbnb-alternative booking platform is trying to take that away from them.
