New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/14/2013 -- Experts are predicting house swap holidays such as those featured by Home Trade are going to be the “third way” for travel accommodation, after hotels and rentals. Already at 100,000 exchangers and growing 15-20% per year, home swappers save hugely on accommodation, saving as much as $4000 during a 2-week home exchange vacation in Paris. They can also stay in a real home that is a bigger and more comfortable space than a hotel room, and enjoy the local knowledge of their exchange partners. These advantages are the reason Home Trade has launched to provide unparalleled access to homes from around the world.

Home Trade is a vacation home exchange program of the kind that most will likely recognise from films like “The Holiday”. While the process has been around for years, it has been a niche market until now. The big shift has in fact been the economic downturn, with more people needing to find alternative means to fund ambitious holidays finding they can make huge savings while leveraging significant advantages at the same time.

The site helps people to find homes for skiing holidays, Mardis Gras, the alps and Rockies, and exotic beach locations like Thailand and the Bahamas. Users can even sign up to use the service free to discover just how easy it really is.

A spokesperson for Home Trade explained, “The sharing economy is huge right now, especially with a renewed focus on the environment and the struggling economy across the world. Home Trade addresses both of these issues by letting your home work for you. With Home Trade you get to live like a local wherever you go – and you get to do it for free. Home Trade allows people to have rich travel experiences without spending money on accommodation. With home exchange, users can travel around the world, but never feel like they’re too far from the comforts of home. We believe these factors are key to having the best possible travel experiences, and we’re thrilled that Home Trade makes this possible for people around the world.”
