On March 24, Independent Accommodations Day honors the millions of privately owned and independently operated accommodations around the world, including boutique hotels, vacation rentals, inns, Airbnbs, cottages, estates, and campgrounds. The “day of recognition” was created by eviivo, a leading hospitality software company, to commemorate the introduction of eviivo Collective, a collection of unique, notable, and luxury independent properties worldwide, such as villas, cottages, and castles.
The background of Independent Accommodations Day
Independent Accommodations Day was introduced in 2018 as part of eviivo’s renowned “International Week of the Host,” during which properties operated flash sales and celebrated via social media. eviivo Collective properties include historic Airbnbs designed by renowned architects in the United States, The New York Times-recognized fortresses in Scotland, and award-winning destination resorts in France.
In 2023, eviivo announced the launch of eviivo Collective to recognize the world’s most exceptional, notable, and luxurious independently-owned properties. To commemorate eviivo Suite’s 10-year anniversary, the company is extending its commitment to the independent accommodation sector by registering a global “Independent Accommodations Day” on March 24 as an annual day of recognition.
