Microstays refers to occupying residency in a hotel room for less than a day.[1][2] Although a relatively new term in the Western travel industry, it emerged as a trend in the World Travel Market Global Trends Report 2013.[3][4] Day-use rooms became more popular in Europe during a time of recession when fewer people were travelling and hotels needed other sources of income.[1] Microstays provide a way for hoteliers to boost revenues[5], as they can increase room inventories by selling the same room twice in a day.[6]
Whilst the UK and the US are the most advanced in adopting microstays, it is fast growing in popularity worldwide. Business travellers make up the majority of the customer base.
