Introduction
As summer approaches, the travel market is filled with new hope. According to the latest report from Morgan Stanley, this summer’s travel demand is expected to see a significant increase, especially among high-income consumers whose travel intentions are notably higher. This undoubtedly presents a tremendous opportunity for the short-term rental market!
PART 1: New Opportunities for the High-End Consumer Market and Short-Term Rental Market
With the surge in summer travel demand, high-income consumers’ travel intentions and spending priorities have significantly increased, driving the prosperity of the high-end travel market. The short-term rental market, therefore, faces unprecedented opportunities, providing travelers and investors with more flexibility and lucrative returns.
1. Prominence of the High-End Market
Surveys show that nearly 60% of consumers plan to take at least one trip this summer. Among them, 43% plan to go on road trips, 17% plan domestic flights, and 13% plan camping trips. Notably, high-income consumers are more likely to travel this summer, and those planning to travel intend to spend more than last year. While 49% plan to spend more, only 16% plan to spend less, resulting in a net increase of 32%.
2. Priority on Travel Spending
High-income consumers prioritize travel spending. 18% of consumers with annual incomes over $150,000 state that leisure travel is one of their highest priority expenditures. Additionally, 40% consider it a medium priority expenditure. These consumers’ high travel intentions and spending indicate a booming high-end travel market.
3. Opportunities in the Short-Term Rental Market
In this context, the short-term rental market undoubtedly faces unprecedented opportunities. For travelers, short-term rentals not only offer more flexibility and personalized choices but also meet their diverse needs in accommodation environment, facilities, and location. For hosts and investors, this is also a prime time to reap substantial returns.
