Peter that's a bit like saying I want to fly passengers around but I don't have an aeroplane!

 

You need to start at the begining and the basis of hosting is to have some sort of a property which will appeal to guests. If you don't have access to bricks and mortar then there is a thriving section of the hosting community who host Tents, Yurts, mini-transportable buildings! Some entrepreneurs even set these up in the street outside their property. There is a company who specialise in the manufacture of these buildings for the express purpose of STRs!

But you do need a bit more than an idea!

I would doubt that a hotel would hand over some of it's property to allow someone else to take a cut out of their earning potential.

Making a profit out of hosting guests is hard enough when you lease or own the property, I would imagine the hill you have to climb without having access to property would be insurmountable!

 

I think your best option is to make yourself available to other hosts as a co-host!

 

Cheers.....Rob

@Robin0 ... I think I'll try out (as a co-host)  before I come up with a plan or a place.

 

Thanks

Last year airbnb had a co-hosting marketplace where hosts could find a co-host to assist running a listing and potential co-hosts could advertise their services to get onboard.

 

The marketplace was withdrawn last year in June with airbnb publishing a vague statement trilling ; ''The good news is we’re exploring the best way to introduce a new and improved feature. We can’t give you a date yet, but will keep you informed. ''

 

So far nothing new has been launched and every day on the forum you can always see new topics with hosts and potential co-hosts still advertising.

 

It looks like there is demand for the marketplace, so @Peter1395 I don't think it's so outrageous you also place an advert here to be a co-host. Of course, without the marketplace feature and it's focus, it's seems now a limited and narrow appeal to find something.

 

There is a perfect German word for this, verschlimmbesserung.

 

 

@Elena0..at first I didn't think about that, but I think I'll try it.. Thanks

I can see you already have a hotel. You need to contact properties in your area and see if they need help.
