The exciting announcement that the UK has approved the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine for widespread use has given a huge boost for travel to return to some semblance of normality soon. With the positive news of the efficacy of several vaccines over the past few weeks, we have seen a steady increase in Home Base Holidays members starting to discuss and pencil in home exchange Holiday plans for 2021.

|

3. Visiting friends and family It's been such a hard year with many of us not able to visit friends and family. Zoom, Skype and FaceTime calls have been incredibly useful but we really hope that in 2021 we'll again be able to safely visit friends and family. If your friends or family live in another part of the country or overseas, home exchanging is an excellent way to arrange accommodation close by but still have the convenience of your own space.

4. Returning to your 'home' country This year with much of the world facing travel restrictions it's been so hard, often impossible, for expats to return to their home countries for a visit. We're hopeful that in 2021, with the excellent progress in the vaccines, we will again start to see borders reopen. Arranging home swaps 'back home' can be a perfect option for expats as it enables lengthy stays at very little cost. Search the latest home swap offers |

5. Accommodation for special occasions Sadly, this year has seen many special occasions such as weddings and sporting events postponed. Lots of weddings and events such as the Tokyo Olympics have been rescheduled for 2021. Swapping homes is a great cost effective alternative to a hotel rooms or holiday rentals.
