WHY EXCHANGE A HOME OR HOSPITALITY?

A home or hospitality exchange is the best way to avoid the high cost while traveling.
A home or hospitality exchange is the best way to avoid the high cost of dining expenses, and offers the option of cooking. This can be a great convenience for travelers who observe Kashrut, as well as for those on restricted diets.
A home or hospitality exchange can save hundreds, and even thousands of dollars on travel accommodation.
Some home or hospitality exchanges can include car exchanges. In this case you can save even more.
After exchanging a home or hospitality (and sometimes a car), most of the cost is just for the travelling to the final destination. This makes the whole trip affordable, and in many cases - possible.
When using Home & Hospitality exchange, Paid Hospitality or Short Term Rentals, one can enjoy a much greater living space of a home (an important advantage for large families or families with small children). Along with space comes the greater privacy parents may wish for, plus the comforts of a home-away-from-home.

Homes include amenities that are usually found only in the finest hotels, such as cable TV, VCR, stereo, PC hook-ups, fax, answering machine, hair dryer, iron/ironing board, etc. Homes have a fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer (a valuable yet inexpensive convenience for the traveler).
In Some cases you can enjoy a golf club or a gym membership, swimming pool, spa, boat, camper van, children & baby toys & items, motorcycles, bicycles for your whole family or newspapers subscriptions. This of course can make ones vacation, much more exciting and adventurous.
Your own home is much safer, secure and taken care of, when people that you personally carefully choose - look after your property while you are traveling.

Homes are much safer when occupied.

An exchange also affords the opportunity of entertaining in a relaxed atmosphere and, perhaps most of all, to experience a city in a different way than a tourist - almost like a native.
It is the best way to make new friends and start a lasting friendship.
