Travel fintech firm Scapia has onboarded over 200,000 villas, homestays, and alternative accommodations globally, aiming to grow this segment to 15-20% of its hotel business. The company sees rising demand for properties offering more space, privacy, and flexibility, especially in leisure destinations where searches for alternative stays exceed those for hotels. Scapia expects its alternative accommodation inventory to grow significantly over the next few years, reflecting a broader market trend toward diverse lodging options among Indian travelers.
