Vacation Rentals as a Business Model

In Mexico and around the world, vacation rentals have become a lodging alternative that is gaining significant traction in the real estate and tourism sectors. Today, vacation rental accommodations are a clear trend — and many buildings are being developed with the sole purpose of being commercialized this way.

Why travelers prefer vacation rentals

Unlike hotels, vacation rentals give travelers a wider opportunity to find accommodations that better suit their tastes and needs. It is easier to choose among different styles, designs, decoration and amenities. On top of greater privacy and a feeling of home, costs tend to be more affordable than hotels.

Vacation rentals as an investment opportunity

Renting vacation properties in highly touristic destinations has become a real business opportunity for those who invest in the real estate sector. Mexico has always stood out worldwide thanks to the high levels of national and international tourism in its main destinations, including the Riviera Maya.

This business model has remained strong and continues to grow over the years thanks to digital platforms that make it easier for investors to rent their property, often earning up to three times more than a long-term rental.

The Riviera Maya: a vacation rental powerhouse

The Riviera Maya has become a powerhouse for vacation rentals. Occupancy has reached up to 78% during Easter alone (through Airbnb), surpassing other popular destinations such as Havana, Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City.
