Social media is a power tool in both our personal and professional lives. Professionally it can define ventures big and small, including your homestay business.
As well as getting your homestay noticed by all the right people, using social media gives you the opportunity to showcase your offering in all its glory. Best of all - it’s free.
Social media has changed the way the entire world communicates. Networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have given users the ability to connect with and chat to people from across globe.
They’ve reacquainted us with long lost friends, given us our daily fix of news (and gossip), and even let us into the lives of the biggest celebrities. Unbeknown to many however, social media platforms can be used as a language learning tool.
Homestay hosts regularly encounter guests suffering from homesickness. A homestay is after all more than a language learning experience. Being away from home and thrust into a new country, culture and family setup is a big step for anyone, regardless of their age or travel experience.
As a host, you can help ease the troublesome symptoms that can prevent your guests from really making the most of their homestay.
Homestays come in all shapes and styles, that’s the beauty of opting for this type of accommodation rather than another generic hotel. So, if you’re thinking about setting up a homestay business but are concerned about how your pets will fit into the scenario, don’t be.
