The increase in tourism is driven by greater accessibility to transportation and a growing demand for unique experiences, cultural exploration, and social media influence, which have made travel planning easier and more attractive. Sharing accommodations provide affordable, comfortable, and flexible lodging options for tourists, offering amenities like Wi-Fi and workspaces, as well as convenient locations near business districts and meeting venues. For example, in February 2024, the International Trade Administration (ITA), a US-based government agency, reported that international travel to the USA reached 77.7 million in 2024, up from 66.5 million in 2023. Therefore, the rise in tourism is fueling the growth of the sharing accommodation market.

Leading companies in the sharing accommodation market are focusing on improving user experience by leveraging advanced digital platforms to gain a competitive edge. These platforms incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning to personalize user interactions and streamline the booking process.

This robust API integrates SilverDoor’s vast global portfolio of serviced accommodations with the platforms of travel management companies (TMCs), enabling users to search, compare, and book serviced apartments alongside traditional hotel options. The API offers real-time availability, instant booking capabilities, and detailed comparisons of rates, amenities, and even carbon emissions.
