They’re looking for a solution that allows them to ‘live as a local’, enjoying catering for themselves and the flexibility of an apartment, combined with the assurance of a branded, professionally-managed stay. And now, at last, a whole range of these options are gathered in one place; all vetted, and demonstrating safety, due diligence, and duty of care for the guest. All listings on www.staywithconfidence.com have met the Association of Serviced Apartment Providers (ASAP) stringent standards, developed over a decade working with the best in serviced apartments and aparthotels. And all have been awarded the International Serviced Apartment Accreditation Process (ISAAP) Compliance marque. Finding yourself in an unfamiliar environment and having to make a new life is daunting enough, without the place you lay your head at the end of the day feeling like anything but home. And nobody wants to chance taking their family on a temporary assignment or a complete relocation, and feel they are putting them in any danger. We feel passionately that travellers should feel completely confident in the safety, quality and amenities they can enjoy in a serviced apartment or aparthotel. Now our directory of Compliant ASAP members presents options you can research, book, and enjoy your stay, with complete confidence. These hosts truly go the extra mile. You will, as comfortably as at home, be part of a vibrant local neighbourhood, with the freedom to come and go as you please; but with the comfort of concierge services on hand, and assistance around-the-clock, along with the peace of mind backed by the ISAAP Safety and Compliance marque.

2019 continues to be a year of constant change, disruption, uncertainty and consolidation in some sectors, especially as organisations seek to remain sustainable, capable and competitive. Global markets too are changing, and the growth of inter- regional activity is fuelled by growth in domestic consumer markets such as China, India and America. While the popular reasons for this are often linked with protectionism, the reality is that the impact of artificial intelligence, technological innovation and the decreasing economic reliance on manufacturing in low-economic labour areas are game changing factors.
