What exactly is a home exchange or home swap?
A Home Exchange is also called a Home Swap. It is the activity of two different parties agreeing to exchange their homes with one another for vacation purposes… “You stay at our home while we stay at yours”. The activity of home exchanging started back in the 1970’s and has grown steadily ever since. The Internet and new web sites that cater to home exchanges has solved many of the aggregation, communication and logistical problems involved with home swaps. Therefore, as you might expect, the home exchange industry has grown exponentially since. Internet services such as HomeWelcome offer sophisticated features and options to home exchangers, thus opening the door to a wider audience of those who may be interested in home exchange holidays.
