Forget checking into a hotel for a long weekend or a week. In the wake of COVID-19, travellers around the world are booking stays that last a month or even longer.
According to hoteliers globally, it's a pattern that started this summer when their properties reopened after being shuttered for several months. This trend appears to be continuing through the fall everywhere from Aspen and Ontario to all over Mexico and in Italy.
Aldo Melpignano, the owner of Borgo Egnazia, a 250-acre resort in Puglia, Italy, reports the same elevated numbers. "Normally, we have one or two guests staying with us that long, but this year, it's been a flood," he says. "We have had such a fantastic time at a place that is very COVID friendly, and Rohan and I have been able to keep working throughout," says Morelli. "Our daughter has been beyond entertained, and when we have breaks, we water ski, golf, workout and indulge in great food and wine."
"It's a win for them because it creates a multi-week revenue stream and a win for travelers who get a price break and can have a self-contained, safe getaway." At Eden Roc Cap Cana, in the Dominican Republic, an extended stay package geared to families includes accommodations in a two-bedroom beachfront suite, all meals , an office setup with a desk, printer and office supplies and unlimited kids activities such as cooking classes, Spanish and piano lessons, bike tours and kayaking.
