StayAltered has unveiled the latest version for its community-powered hospitality platform, with new booking and rewards features, partner services, and member benefits for independent hoteliers and sustainable travellers.
Contributing to this new version are over 80 independent hoteliers who joined forces with a founding network of contributors and partners, including COAX Software in Ukraine, GuestRevu in the UK, and Weeva in South Africa.
StayAltered combines the power of a global hospitality brand with the reach of a travel booking website, and helps sustainable travellers easily find, book, and earn rewards with independent hoteliers.
In the coming months, StayAltered will announce enhanced membership benefits for StayAltered guests with the launch of Special Guests and Super Guests plans, as well as more cooperative solutions and partner services for StayAltered hosts.
“StayAltered champions independent hoteliers, who represent over two-thirds of the global hospitality industry,” said Evan Tzeng, founder of StayAltered. “When locally-operated and sustainably-managed, their accommodations become sociocultural anchors and economic drivers for communities to thrive and flourish.”
“We believe in harnessing collective power to make tourism more purposeful and impactful. StayAltered provides us a platform to realise this vision collaboratively,” added Arunavh Dam, StayAltered host and co-founder of Muhaan Collective, a social enterprise in India developing experiential tourism and hospitality models with rural communities.
