Global Serviced Apartment Industry Report

The first Global Report into the Serviced Apartment Industry, commissioned by The Apartment Service, was launched at the ITM/HBAA forum. The Report, published by Travel Intelligence Network, focuses on how the sector has addressed the needs of the relocation world for many years now, is now coming to address the needs of the corporate buyer, looks at the major operators worldwide, explains the different types of property which can be defined as serviced apartments and examines how apartment operators run their inventories.  The Report is backed up by a survey we undertook among 20,000 operators and bookers across the world earlier this year and interviews with and contributions from key industry figures worldwide. 

The Report can be downloaded for free from our website. Please click the following link:

 

 

It is also possible to order your hard copy of the report via this page. The cost for this is £85 + VAT. For more information about the report, or The Apartment Service in general, please contact our Sales Manager Mike Stapley via email mikes@apartment.co.uk, or on +44-(0)20-8944 1444.
