Global travel platform, Vegvisits is rivaling vacation giant Airbnb with a view to connecting vegan and vegetarian travelers.
The company, founded by two long-term vegans, has just relaunched a brand new site and is eyeing further expansion.
Vegvisits vs. Airbnb
The platform invites hosts around the globe to list rooms to entire homes, in a bid to make traveling easier for vegans and the âveg-curiousâ alike.
It came after founders Linsey and Nicholas Minnella had difficulties finding food and âfelt uncomfortableâ staying in hotels abroad.
âWe were desperate for that feeling of peace of mindâ, Lindsay told PBN. Moreover, it wasnât until the pair stayed at an Airbnb with a vegan host that they had the idea to create Vegvisits.
Since launching in 2016, the platform is available in over 80 countries. But following travel restrictions, Linsey says it âtook a huge hitâ.
However, now theyâre ready to take the site to more countries and inform the âentireâ vegan and vegetarian community.
How Vegvisits works
The accommodation platform has so far accumulated over 1,000 listings, and is free of charge to use.
And of those listings, hosts have to keep their homes meat and seafood free âat all timesâ during a guestâs stay.
This is not only to avoid guests witnessing âthe sights and smells of animal fleshâ, but also to âbring a sense of peace amongst the unknownâ, Linsey explains.
It also provides an opportunity for âvaluableâ local advice from fellow vegans.
