Travelling for business can get tiresome if it is done on a regular basis and after a few weeks here and a few weeks there, any seasoned traveller is left longing for home and some good old home-made cooking.
If a business has long established ties with a certain country which means that they have several staff visiting a city on a regular basis, one solution which they can consider is to look for houses for rent for their travelling staff, instead of them having to stay in hotels.
If the price is right it can be a winner from all sides. A full time rental on a local house or apartment can actually work out much cheaper for the business than many hotel nights each year and this also means that the food and beverage expenses are likely to be much lower too as the employees will be less likely to eat out in expensive restaurants each night.
From the employees perspective they have much more space than with a hotel room and they start to look on the place as a home from home where they can relax without having to be on formal behaviour all the time as they are in a hotel.
Those who visit the city frequently can also leave some items in the apartment for next time which cuts down on the hassle of packing.
