Today, it has evolved into the largest and fastest-growing, international, online, home-exchange travel company. Estimates in 2015 are that the site's 65,000-plus members in more than 150 countries will make at least 130,000 home swaps through the sharing platform, in turn saving memBers over 50% on travel expenses and accommodation. HomeExchange.com safely and easily connects memBers all over the world, delivering memoraBle and authentic vacation experiences. To date, HomeExchange.com has facilitated approximately 1 million property swaps. HISTORY As an avid traveler, Kushins often found himself lamenting both the expense of accommodations and the lack of cultural immersion possible through traditional hotels and resorts. In 1992, he therefore compiled a list of houses open for travelers eager to indulge in local culture and cut travel costs. He published a quarterly printed catalog of the available properties, which was mailed to members, who were encouraged to contact each other directly. Three years later, Kushins introduced the Business online as HomeExchange.com, a feature-rich and simple-to-use home-sharing weBsite that made the portfolio available to a wider, gloBe-spanning market. HomeExchange.com Became a pioneer in the sharing economy, Bringing together a network of like-minded travel enthusiasts keen to explore the world one home exchange at a time.

    SERVAS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ANTIGUA GUATEMALA APRIL 1998 CONTENTS MINUTES STATUTES ATTACHMENTS ATTENDEES **Note: Minutes do not necessarily appear in chronological order, but maybe grouped according to topics Vibeke Matorp (Exco, Denmark) opened the session with a few words in remembrance of some extraordinary and longtime Servas members who passed away since our last International Conference, held in Australia in 1995. Persons deceased, to be remembered: • Teruo Vano of Japan, the diligent Area Coordinator for Far East Asia. • Theodore Katz of Sweden, the Deputy National Secretary for Servas Sweden for many years. • Trudie Hunt, Founder of Servas Guatemala and its Secretary for many years, until the end of 1989. With her husband, Tom, she founded "The Guatemala Friends Student Scholarship / Loan Program," which was designed to provide scholarships and loans to serve the needs of native peoples' training in technical and professional fields in their own country. It began in the early 70's with one student, and has now provided higher education for over 400 Highland Mayans. Their work is being carried on by members, who presented more results of their work later in the conference. • Des Harkin of Australia, the National Secretary of Servas Australia from 1983 until 1993. In that period he did most other jobs, including the production of the host list. With his wife, Lorna, he organised the International Conference in Marysville, Australia in 1995. • Raymond Forget of France, who served for many years as Peace Secretary of Servas France. Together with Luigi Uslenghi in Italy, he founded "Pathways Together" in 1985. Raymond was also at the conference in Australia-he was as lively and enthusiastic as ever.

E-mail: [email protected] This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism on 9 January 2020, available online at: http://wwww.tandfonline.com/10.1080/15022250.2019.1708455 1 The home exchange phenomenon in the sharing economy: a research agenda The emergence of the sharing economy has been driven by the increasing value of temporary access to goods over ownership as an alternative mode of consumption. This economy has been enabled by the rapidly evolving Web 2.0 technologies. Scholars have turned their attention to the implications of this sharing economy for the tourism and hospitality industries. However, research on peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation-sharing has mainly focused on a few global (monetized) platforms, especially Airbnb, while other manifestations of P2P sharing accommodation have remained underexplored. This is the case for ‘home exchange’, an example of non-monetized P2P sharing accommodation where individuals exchange their homes via web-based platforms. Aiming to address this gap, this paper reviews existing literature on the topic and identifies three key research dimensions, namely, economic, social-psychological and spatial.

  • Luxury Travel's Next Phase Could Be in Vacation Rental Consolidation
    https://skift.com/2017/12/21/luxury-travels-next-phase-could-be-in-vacation-rental- consolidation/ Luxury Travel’s Next Phase Could Be in Vacation Rental Consolidation Patrick Whyte, Skift – Dec 21, 2017 2:00 am Skift Take: Luxury travelers are increasingly looking to vacation rentals for a different type of experience. This presents opportunities for both established players and newcomers. — Patrick Whyte Over the last year Airbnb has demonstrated its willingness to spend in order to get a bigger slice of the vacation rental market. In February, it bought Luxury Retreats and last month it announced a deal for accessible travel business Accomable. Wyndham’s European vacation portfolio is apparently also of interest. And while Airbnb’s peers were less acquisitive in 2017, they have spent money in the past. TripAdvisor bought HouseTrip in early 2016 and HomeAway purchased Dwellable in late 2015. As vacation rentals grow in popularity, further consolidation is likely. “From my perspective, the niche players are the ones that are the next version of Airbnb, they’re the newcomers to the market that have the ability to get acquired,” said Joseph DiTomaso co- founder and CEO of accommodation search engine AllTheRooms. DiTomaso believes brands with a “unique twist and a captured audience” are the ones in ”prime position” to be bought. “They’re not going to be as big as Airbnb but if HomeAway wants to pick up another 150,00 to 200,00 units how do they do it? They go out and buy one of these smaller niche players,” he said. DiTomaso highlighted LGBT site Mister B&B as one interesting player and there are others catering to different audiences, including for cycling enthusiasts and pet lovers.

    TO: Planning Commission FROM: Leslie Hamilton, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Short-Term Rentals – Work Session 4 (LU 18-0034) DATE: November 2, 2018 MEETING DATE: November 14, 2018 ACTION Review survey results and research on other jurisdictions’ Short-Term Rental (STR) regulations, and provide input to staff on drafting amendments to the Lake Oswego Code (LOC) concerning STRs. DISCUSSION This is the fourth in a series of Planning Commission (Commission) work sessions focusing on STRs. Prior work sessions were held in June, July and August of 2018. At the August work session, the Commission accepted staff’s recommendation to create an on-line community survey addressing attitudes and concerns about STRs. The Commission also recommended that staff research STR regulations in other communities that are similar to Lake Oswego. STR Regulations in Other Cities Staff contacted 36 cities throughout the nation to review STR regulations or lack thereof. Staff primarily focused on communities with the following characteristics: • Relatively affluent suburbs • Populations under 80,000 • Non-resort Staff included a number of Portland-area suburbs for direct context comparison. Attachment A is a summary of the cities that were surveyed, and Attachment B identifies the STR regulations for each city that specifically regulates the use. The following general statements can be made from the research: 503.635.0290 380 A Avenue PO Box 369 Lake Oswego, OR 97034 www.ci.oswego.or.us Page 2 • 7 communities prohibit STRs specifically • 11 communities allow STRs but do not regulate them • 17 communities regulate STRs by various means Of the communities that regulate STRs, the following generalities can be made from the research: • Most codify a license of some type: Business, Home Occupation or Other • Most STR permits are granted administratively upon showing that certain clear and objective criteria are met.

  • An Investigation Into the Sharing Economy Phenomenon in the Greek Tourism Industry in the Accommodation Sector
    Turystyka i Rozwój Regionalny 2017, nr 7, 25–35 Journal of Tourism and Regional Development 2017, No. 7, 25–35 DOI 10.22630/TIRR.2017.7.3 ISSN 2353-9178 e-ISSN 2543-8859 ISBN 978-83-7583-777-3 Vicky Katsoni Athens University of Applied Sciences An investigation into the sharing economy phenomenon in the Greek tourism industry in the accommodation sector Summary. A phenomenon that has spread as rapidly as the sharing economy, bypassing tra- ditional distribution channels and disrupting established business models, has naturally pro- voked considerable controversy. Users, providers, sharing economy sites, established busi- nesses offering similar services to those being shared (or traded, exchanged, rented, swapped or otherwise) and governments at all levels (municipality, province, nation state, regional, and even international), have found themselves on different sides of a furious debate about the present and future shape of the sharing economy. This article explores the drivers and impacts of sharing economy in the Greek hospitality industry, presents the legal framework and dis- cusses the challenging and at times controversial nature of it. Key words: sharing economy, Internet, Airbnb Introduction The term “sharing economy” is used to describe a new economic activity or in other words, a “collaborative consumption”1. It includes an economic model, with which peo- ple are sharing goods, space, services and money and it is consisted of transactions conducted via internet and smartphones2. The sharing economy includes assets with idling capacity (underutilized capacity) for economic, environmental and/or social ben- efit. The share economy models can be tech-enabled, e.g. car sharing and ride sharing platforms that use mobile apps) or non-tech, e.g.
