Small Business Trends reports on a new trend in the tourism market: the emergence of small boutique hotels that compete against large hotel chains by offering a unique vacation experience. In the article, General Manager of The Hibernation Station, Zack Paul, is quoted as saying:
“A small steady migration is taking place toward privatizing hotels. Hotels that have been part of a chain are breaking off and new ones are being put up without a franchise. These small private hotels are sought after mostly for something they offer that is different. It could be a mystical offering or just something romantic or representing the environment of the area in which they are located. The franchise hotels, on the other hand, deliver consistency no matter where you stay across the globe.”

The service I created, Academic Ambassadors, is also cited in that article describing the trend towards the intimate charms of boutique hotels.
I obviously concur and invite your readers to investigate http://www.academicambassadors.com . I recommend some of America’s best such destinations and discount them, specifically for those with non-profit affiliations (liberally defined).
