STAY WYSE, the global association representing the youth travel accommodation industry, has just launched its seventh annual survey reviewing the global business operations of the Youth Travel Accommodation Industry. The study establishes crucial business metrics and identifies trends in this growing sector.
This year’s survey looks at average bed rates, occupancy rates, marketing activities, employment information, booking trends and sources of revenue during the previous year (01 July 2012 to 30 June 2013). The full version of this report is available to members of STAY WYSE.
The 2013 survey has had some considerable changes made to it; simplifying questions, especially on finances and adding new questions on pressing issues surrounding 3rd-party website bookings, OTA contracts and licensing issues. Participants who fully complete the survey will receive a significant discount to the World Youth Student Travel Conference (WYSTC), Sydney. Please see terms and conditions for more information.
The STAY WYSE survey has rapidly become the most comprehensive study of the Youth Travel Accommodation Industry worldwide. It is the only consistent source of benchmarking and comparison by world region, country and several key cities.
“The information generated by the survey is highly relevant and important for businesses in the accommodation sector, giving valuable insights into our industry and allowing businesses to benchmark their operations against their peers” according to David Chapman, Director General of the WYSE Travel Confederation.
