Exploring Opportunities in Alternative Hospitality (For Investors and Travelers) With Peter Fabor

From glamping to co-living to Airbnb and other short-term rentals – the list of unique places to stay during your travels is endless! Peter Fabor is with me today to discuss the alternative hospitality scene and its revolutionary impact on travelers, investors, and industry enthusiasts.

Peter is a trailblazer in the modern age of hospitality and remote work. In 2014, he founded Surf Office, which organizes productive, authentic, and effortless company retreats around the globe. Their mission is to empower companies to bring culture, innovation, happiness, and productivity to their work and lives.

Peter and I talk about how these alternative accommodations can enhance your travel experience and the impacts of the industry on destinations and tourism as a whole. We also talk about the current and upcoming hospitality trends (that may give you your next big idea) and plenty of advice for starting your own hospitality business. 

What has been your favorite alternative stay? Have you been considering starting your own hospitality business? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
