If it makes the travel bug in you drool, then do we have a great news for you!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Recently launched, Holiday Swap is an app that aims to allow people to swap homes with other people when they travel. Those who have already used it are starting to call it Tinder. But unlike Tinder, Holiday Swap works on a global rather than local scale, enabling you to see properties in the over 40 countries across the 6 continents that this app presently covers.<\/p>\n<h2>How The Concept Works<\/h2>\n<p>The app is easy to use, much like Tinder itself!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, filter your app settings for things like \u2018good atmosphere\u2019, \u2018crowd\u2019, etc<\/li>\n<li>Once you\u2019ve \u201cmatched\u201d with someone, you\u2019ll get a notification and a \u201cpin\u201d will be added to your map<\/li>\n<li>Then you can chat with the user and see their availability calendar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-107996\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/How-The-Holiday-Swap-Concept-Works.jpg\" alt=\"How The Holiday Swap Concept Works\" width=\"620\" height=\"308\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"imagesource-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.infotechnology.com\/export\/sites\/revistait\/img\/2018\/04\/12\/5acc8f5e146e711a008b4710-960-477.jpg_853284244.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Suggested Read:<\/strong> <a class=\"mustread-link\" href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/blog\/bubble-hotel-in-ireland-allows-the-dreamiest-glamping-experience-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This Bubble Hotel In Ireland Allows You The Dreamiest Glamping Experience Ever<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The cool part is, you only have to <strong>pay only $1 (INR 65) per bed a night<\/strong> to swap through the app. In addition, the user can request a fully refundable deposit if it makes them more comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>This means that while swapping, you can protect against the user canceling on you or against damage since all of this is covered by home insurance. You can deposit the fee into a third party account and have it returned to yourself when the process is complete.<\/p>\n<p>There are also pretty cool properties available on the app already. Moreover, Holiday Swap is now available on both iOS and Android and many users have already started swapping!<\/p>\n<h2>How It\u2019s Revolutionising Travel<\/h2>\n<p>Something like this can surely become a fully integrated travel tool that reduces the cost of travel. It can also act as a social media travel tool, which gives tourists new experiences by taking out one of the biggest costs of travel.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a great way to connect with people in different corners of the world. Travelers don\u2019t always have to swap. If you\u2019ve matched with someone in Toronto, it means you now have a friend there! How cool is that!<\/p>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-107997\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/James-Asquith-founded-holiday-swap.jpg\" alt=\"James Asquith founded holiday swap\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"imagesource-link\" href=\"https:\/\/amp.businessinsider.com\/images\/5acc92216898751a008b4d79-1334-1001.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Suggested Read:<\/strong> <a class=\"mustread-link\" href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/blog\/glass-hotel-in-spain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This Glass Hotel In Spain Has Taken The Concept Of \u2018A Room With A View\u2019 To A Whole New Level!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More than swapping, it\u2019s an excellent tool to actually travel.
