It connects international exchange students, independent travellers, and host families through meaningful Homestay experiences, fostering cultural exchange. Host Family Programme is provides students accommodation in a community with a local family. The programme provides students with caring host families who offer a secure, safe and happy environment. The idea of the homestay program is to accom
modate student with a local family, thus enabling the student to learn about local lifestyle, culture, nature. It is where student stay with the host’s family and experience the everyday way of life of the family in both a direct and indirect manner. Host Family Programme, which differentiates it with homestay elsewhere, is the element of staying together with host families or adopted families. The students have the opportunities to interact, gain knowledge, and experience the life style and culture of the host family as well as the local community. This element involves the guests eating, cooking, and engaging in many activities together with their adopted families, thus allowing two parties with different cultural backgrounds to interact and learn from each other. Unlike regular bed and breakfast establishments, the homestay program allows the guests to participate in the hosts’ daily activities. Indeed, this can be considered as an important strength of this particular product; no other tourism product offers a similar experience. Our goal is to provide a fair match between homestay seekers and providers that turns into mutually beneficial homestay experience and form friendships that may last for a life time.
