Madrid Apartments for rent: Overcome the crisis time

Oct. 15, 2008 - PRLog -- The crisis seems to affect to every single industry: housing industry, car industry, tourism industry… House prices are crashing, but this isn't making housing more affordable. The motor car industry is collapsing and some of the most important Spanish car companies have fired thousands of employees.
But travel and holidays industry would be one the most affected industry by the financial crisis because leisure is the last priority when people have to overcome economic problems. This downturn might negatively affect the business.

Fears about the crisis
Only-Apartments, a leading company in online rental apartments in Madrid, were one of the thousands booking companies that had to face with the possibility of bankruptcy. They assume their revenues will decrease due to the financial crisis:  the less people travel, the less reservations they get.

But surprisingly, and despite the crisis, Only- Apartments increases its sales in 15% since the beginning of the year. Where does the secret hide? Probably this important increase is due to the high cost of the hotel rooms. Right now, the travellers are looking the lowest prices, without sacrificing the quality, for their accommodation.

Facts about the crisis
Hotels are always more expensive than apartments. In addition, they have smaller rooms, so families usually have to book more than one room and the price shoots up. The travellers want to save their money, and since the beginning of the crisis, many people used to rent apartments together. “Share a vacation house with other people is a great idea to save money” declares Anne Smith, an English tourist that spends her holydays in

Madrid using this method.
The Internet is the other main reason why the income of Only-Apartments Madrid has increased. The Internet has change the way of people life, it costumes. A whole new industry has sprung up since it arrival. The tourist sector is a perfect example. Nowadays, people prefer to book their holidays via Internet, because it has a wider offer and lower prices than traditional travel agencies. Only-Apartments have around 20,000 apartments in 200 different destinations. It is a multi-lingual web site in 13 languages, very easy to use. It offers an alternative lodging to the hotels with the cheapest prices in the Net.
