Fact Sheet

Home exchange is the fastest growing travel option where two families agree to swap homes for a vacation…“you stay in my house while I stay in yours.”

Home exchange allows you to enjoy all the comforts of home while experiencing new destinations as a local, not a tourist. Discover shopping at local markets for fresh produce and getting restaurant recommendations from friendly neighbors. No more using the hotel bed as a chair. You can curl up next to your own fireplace with your favorite novel.

Home exchange started almost 40 years ago as a way for teachers to take inexpensive vacations. Exchangers now come from all walks of life, in every age bracket. Home exchange vacations now include regional, local and long weekend exchanges as well as international trips.

Each year there are over 100,000 successful home exchanges done worldwide.

Members report that they save thousands of dollars over the traditional “hotel” vacation. Besides free accommodations, they often make meals at “home” after shopping at local markets. Snacks are from their own refrigerator and they often have the use of their exchange partner’s car as well. And when they go out to eat, it can be at favorite local restaurants that are less expensive and better than those in tourist areas.
