An Alternative to Hotels for the Business Traveler
The number of business travelers increases steadily as businesses grow in size and scope, selling products all over the country and no longer just in their own communities. Meeting suppliers and customers face-to-face is a time-honored tradition and one that can keep companies more in touch with their business. In a world of increasing computerization and disconnection, the personal touch still sets world class businesses apart from their competitors.
If there’s one thing that business travelers universally complain about, it’s the accommodations on the road. Staying in cramped hotel rooms, drinking bottled water and eating peanuts out of the tiny room refrigerator, and washing clothes in the bathroom sink are common conditions that the frequent traveler has to face on a regular basis. Most meals are eaten at the hotel restaurant or the fast food joint down the block and, if they’re lucky, the room will have a chair so the guest doesn’t have to watch the network news sitting on the bed.
A new trend in business travel that is popping up all over the country is corporate housing, an alternative to hotel stays. Corporate housing works for short or extended stays for business meetings, conferences, or longer projects. Corporate housing can come in all different shapes and sizes, but its goal is to provide a more “homey” experience to the business traveler than a hotel room could offer.
One company on the forefront of this new trend is Wynne Residential Corporate Housing (wynnecorporatehousing.com). Wynne offers corporate housing across the country. Wynne’s accommodations are fully furnished apartments that provide a more relaxing and functional setting than a hotel room can offer. Rather than living out of their suitcase, business travelers have the use of fully-equipped kitchens, washers and dryers, and in many cases, full access to fitness centers and pools. The apartments are more spacious and luxurious than hotel rooms and can double as a “home” office while on the road.
Wynne’s customers are not only business travelers. Wynne offers vacation accommodation and housing for military and government employees who are on short-term assignments away from their home city. Those who are relocating to another city or another state frequently need short term housing while they wait for their new house to be built or to find one when they have been transferred at work.
The size and scope of Wynne’s corporate housing properties is a boon to those who are travelling from city to city. Wynne co-ordinates all of the move-ins and move-outs to give the customer one less thing to worry about. They look after the mail forwarding and the utilities hookups. They consolidate all of the housing expenses so that there is only one bill to pay every month.
Temporary corporate housing is a growing market with rental companies entering the ring every day. Wynne has the experience and the size to provide reliable housing services that companies both large and small depend on every day to take the sting out of being on the road.
