Buy now, stay later at Luxury Resorts around the world

As the Covid-19 pandemic slows the pace of travel, the hospitality industry has experienced a drastic decline in revenue, prompting luxury hotels to brainstorm new ways to generate income. With the threat of massive furloughs and reduction of services on the horizon, iconic guesthouses have teamed up to offer an innovative solution to their customers: hotel bonds through the Buy Now, Stay Later program. Much like U.S. Treasury bonds, which started as a means of financing the Revolutionary War, hotel bonds allow regular guests to pay in advance for future stays.

Whatʼs the draw? Each $100 bond increases in value to $150 after a sixty-day maturation period—a smart, advantageous investment for avid travelers. Hotel bonds are a great way to invest in workers and the hospitality industry while financing longer post-pandemic travel dreams. Here are just a few of the high-end hotels from around the globe participating in this savvy venture, and more are signing up every day.
