At EzyStayz we are remaking the global travel industry, one booking at a time! We want to change the way the world stays, opening up the holiday rental market to individuals across the globe and providing travellers with unique, one-of-a-kind places to call ‘home’

We are looking to leverage blockchain technology to revolutionize the booking-renting process in the 21st century. EzyStayz is not an idea or a project-in-progress, it is an expansion on Australia’s biggest global holiday rental listing website. We strongly believe that by applying the innovative technology to an already successful holiday rental platform, we can remake short and long-term vacation rental market to be better, safer, more transparent and more affordable for all.

Why Choose usCheaperEzyStayz transactions cost 2 or even 3 times less than platforms like AirBnb and HomeAway.Fairer

Hotels, property owners and travellers control their own experience on the platform with blockchain-based modules.

Easier

We bridge the gap between crypto and fiat, making cross border payments easy and opening new streams of revenue for the hospitality sector.

Safer

An already operational business and the immutability of blockchain is a combination that reduces chargebacks, misrepresentation and fraud.

Problems

Inefficient Rental Platforms

Existing holiday rental platforms are centralised with limited marketing possibilities and high fees for both landlords and tenants.

Billions Frozen in Crypto

The growing crypto community can’t utilise this new form of currency to book holiday accommodation while hotels and landlords are missing out on a huge revenue stream.

Poor Holiday Rental Experience

Multiple intermediaries make vacation accommodation booking an expensive, time-consuming and frustrating process.

Lack of consumer focus and user control

Limited control over landlord-tenant interactions and listing features, resulting in less than optimal search results and travel experiences.

Market Potential

The global vacation rental industry is a market of nearly US$130 billion as of 2017, which accounts for 18.1% of the global vacation lodging market. This is a fast-changing industry posed for exponential growth. The short-term vacation rental market is one of the most attractive segments in the real estate and property management sector. HomeAway, an online marketplace for vacation rentals, reports an increase in listings 44% since 2009. Real estate agents, property managers and independent property owners are all competing for a piece of this pie. However, there are associated risks as well as rewards with accessing it both for home owners and tenants.

In 2015, the global travel industry generated US$5,880.4 billion in revenue. By 2020, this figure is projected to reach US$8,736.1 billion. The hotel sector accounts for 14.1% of total industry revenue (US$716.4 billion in 2015), making it the second largest segment of the travel industry.1

The global travel and tourism industry is one of the world’s largest industries with a global economic contribution of over US$7.6 trillion in 2016, but it’s been dominated by large intermediaries with Expedia and Priceline alone representing 95% of the industry market in the US. And with the rise of the so-called ‘sharing economy — the short-term vacation rental segment is transforming an industry that is overly conservative, rigid and over-priced by offering a democratic, transparent, decentralized solution to this issue. The integration of blockchain technology is the next logical step to eliminate the unnecessary costs imposed on consumers by brokers and intermediaries by removing layers of intermediation
