GuesttoGuest, the world’s leading home exchange site, has acquired the Canadian home exchange website echangedemaison.com and strengthens its presence in the Canadian market. Echangedemaison.com is a Quebec based home exchange platform. Since 2015, GuesttoGuest has raised almost 40 million euros and has acquired several of its competitors such as Trampolinn in France, HomeforHome in Spain, and the American leader HomeExchange.com. These funds allowed this young French start-up to multiply by 12 the number of homes available for exchange (38,000 in early 2014 to 450,000 today) and double the number of overnight stays each year. The team has also grown to more than 90 employees with offices in Boston, Paris and Zagreb. The co-founder said, “We are convinced that hospitality plays and will continue to play a major role among the challenges of tomorrow’s tourism market and we are putting in the work to gain a million members within 2 years”. The GuesttoGuest group, led by Emmanuel Arnaud and his co-founder, is comprised of nearly 450,000 homes in 187 countries. On May 24, they were awarded “Company of the Year” by the French-American Chamber of Commerce New England at its 17th annual Business Awards. The FAB Awards is a competition rewarding innovative small, medium and large organizations. ​Its role is to help companies located in New England that have a relationship with France develop their business and gain more visibility.
