Our take
Selina capitalises on the rise of remote working and digital nomads, who want to travel in style and comfort while being productive at the same time. This has stemmed from the interesting convergence in the worlds of working and travel, where people are demanding an increasingly greater amount of flexibility in terms of how they approach both.
Selina takes a similar approach to WeWork, taking long-leases on properties and renovating them to suit their customers. The challenge will be making sure they keep occupancy rates high in an economic downturn, as they have significant exposure to real estate with long leases.
Off the back of a 2021 IPO and equity investment in 2023, Selina's growth plans include expansion into the key markets of millennials and Gen Z travellers by opening new properties in multiple locations across the globe. Selina will align itself to the requirements of these markets, by strategically locating these properties in large cities and providing attractive price points that match the budgets of these age groups.
