> 30% of all travel worldwide Lonely Planet or not, that is very hard to believe. I know anecdotes != data but this is so different from my normal experience that I just can't accept it. I do not think I have ever been on a plane where 30% of pax are vacationing families. Business travel outweighs vacations 10 to 1, or it feels like it. Anyway, of course you're not going to get a family-sized suite for 1万円 at a proper hotel. You wouldn't get an apartment, either. I am not sure what you are expecting here. A four-person suite is going to cost way more no matter how you cut it. And if you claim four-person suites make up 30% of hotel bookings, then you are hallucinating. I hadn't really perceived that AirBNB was evolving into a short-term apartment rental system, but if that works for you, great! My point was simply that, since I don't have all these dependents, I would never think of using it in a country with good business hotels.
