What is Home Exchange Services?
Home exchange, also known as house swapping, is a type of lodging in which two parties agree to provide each other with homestays for a specified period of time. It is a form of barter, collaborative consumption, and sharing because no money is exchanged. Home exchange can include any type of residence, such as apartments, houses, vacation homes, boats, or recreational vehicles. It could be an exchange of the entire house or just one room. The duration of the swap can range from a weekend to more than a year. The swap can be done simultaneously or sequentially. Home exchanges are typically arranged through specific social networking services, the majority of which charge a fee. Home exchange has emerged as a legitimate lodging option in the developing world.
