Airbnb - Take Advantage Of Edinburgh's Soaring Tourism
With the steady expansion of the Airbnb property management revolution, more and more property owners are thinking of letting out their homes. Short term letting is particularly attractive if there are regular periods during the year when you know you’re going to be away and your property lies empty.
Indeed, seven of the top ten most visited attractions in Scotland (in 2017) are based in Edinburgh. All of which makes is great news for those in the hotel, leisure and accommodation business. In the last ten years over 5000 new hotel rooms have been completed. It’s expected that there will be continued demand for many more as Edinburgh increasingly becomes a ‘must visit’ city for tourists.
But it’s not just in the capital where tourism is flourishing. Whilst often considered more ‘industrial’ than it’s neighbour 44 miles east, Glasgow is also increasingly attracting more than it’s fair share of tourists - particularly from North America and Europe - up 20% in 2017 alone, and well above the Scottish visitor average. This phenomenon is expected to continue in the coming years with hotel and accommodation at a premium. Thankfully there is another option available - airbnb property management.
Airbnb properties - affordable luxury and comfort
Average prices for hotel rooms in Edinburgh and Glasgow, reflect their standing as highly desirable tourist attractions. People often pay well over £100 per night, closer to London prices, all of which can mount up if you’re on holiday for a longer period with your family. More and more people are becoming aware of and are looking for the convenience and flexibility of luxurious city centre apartments or townhouses where families can relax as they would if they were in their own homes.
Business travellers can also enjoy the relative comfort and tranquillity of a local property convenient to their work base. With a greater range of Airbnb properties now available, guests can plan their visit more carefully, don’t always have to book months in advance, and can save money into the bargain.
