The main expectations of travelers at the moment

A warm place to stay
Search results from travelers around the world show that the top 10 amenities travelers are looking for are:

1. A pool
2. The wifi
3. A kitchen
4. Free parking
5. A jacuzzi
6. A washing machine or dryer
7. Air conditioning or heating
8. Autonomous arrival (Offered by the application) OIQIA)
9. A computer workspace
10. Animals accepted

Here's what you can do to make sure that some of these amenities meet travelers' needs as much as possible:

• Wifi: Make sure it's working and that travelers know how to connect to it. You could place a sign in your home with all the useful instructions and laminate it to make it easier to clean.
• Air conditioning: we know that centralized air conditioning is not very common in some geographical areas. If the unit has one, let guests know where the remote is and how to use it. A laminated sign describing the instructions may also be useful in this case. If the home doesn't have one, consider offering a mobile air conditioner for the warmer months.
• Kitchen: travelers may want to cook during their stay, so be sure to provide dishes, pots, pans, and cooking utensils. It is advisable to mention these elements in the description of your home.
• Parking: If you have a parking space for your travelers, remember to provide them with all the useful instructions before they arrive and do not forget to indicate this in the equipment list on your ad.

Outdoor spaces
Many travelers want the opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities during their stay. If there are popular hiking trails in your area or other outdoor activities nearby, mention this in your home guide or manual.

You can also beautify the outdoor areas of your home so they can enjoy some fresh air. Maintain the garden and consider adding (or refreshing) the following equipment:

• Outdoor furniture
• Barbecue
• Outdoor glasses and plates
• Games and other activities

Cleaning products
Many travelers will appreciate the ability to keep the place clean. We recommend that you provide the accommodation with:

• Paper towel
• disposable gloves
• Multi-surface cleaner
• Disinfecting wipes or spray
• Antibacterial hand sanitizer
• Soap

Who are these travelers and how can they be met?

Families with children‍

You can help parents of young children feel more comfortable in your home by providing them with some essential items:

• Baby beds
• High chairs
• Baby safety gates
• Cups, plates and utensils for children
• A changing table
• Baby monitors
• Plug covers

You should also make sure you have enough basic products and equipment available, such as:

• Soap
• Some shampoo
• Toilet paper
• Extra bed and bath linen

Pet owners

‍Many travelers want to take their four-legged friends with them on their trips. We know that it's not possible for some hosts to offer pet-friendly accommodations. But if you have the option, now is the perfect time to do it.

People who travel with their animals may want to know what you offer in your accommodation, for example if you have an enclosed garden or a private terrace. You can also provide pet-friendly equipment, such as:

• Bowls for water and food
• Covers for sofas and armchairs
• Napkins to wipe their paws dry before entering
• Additional cleaning products

It is also recommended that you update your house rules. You can let guests know how many pets you allow per stay, what types of pets you allow, and if they can be left unattended in your space.

Teleworkers
Many people are still working from home, and some may need to work while they are there. You can help them stay productive by offering the following equipment:

• Fast wifi: More and more travelers are working from home and want a fast Internet connection more than ever. If your connection is slow, consider upgrading to a faster service.
• A computer workspace: Set up a desk or table near a power source, with a comfortable chair (even better if it's ergonomic). Do you want to do even more? Add a stapler, a stack of Post-It notes, and a jar full of new pens. If you have a printer or photocopier, be sure to specify this in the description of your home.
• Coffee maker and kettle: these travelers are likely to appreciate a little help getting through their busy days.
