The First Global Serviced Apartment Industry Report

In summer 2008, The Apartment Service undertook a survey amongst over 20,000 bookers, Travel Management Companies, Relocation Management Companies and apartment operators worldwide. The results of that survey form the basis of the above report, which also contains market size, spend and rates data collected from regions around the globe, plus analysis, case studies and trend information.

This first-ever report on the global serviced apartments industry comes at a time when 65% of corporates have travel & relocation policies in place; when 72% of companies worldwide use apartments instead of hotels for stays of 7+ nights, and when 47% of organizations across the globe are using apartments for long stays, assignments or relocation. As a result, serviced apartments have finally ceased to be the subject of corporate curiosity. The cost saving benefits apartments offer over hotels, together with under-supply of hotels, places the apartments sector well to weather the impending global economic storm.

The official launch date of the report is the 12th September, but you can already register your interest for a free downloadable copy of the report.

For more information about the report, or about The Apartment Service in general, please contact Mike Stapley via email: mikes@apartment.co.uk, or on +44-(0)20-89441444
