No, it isn't the surge in new home exchangers, though I see this trend emerging. A weak economy is actually good news for swappers.
With the desire to spend frugally, home exchange seems to be moving into mainstream consciousness. Recent articles on home swapping appeared in major weeklies like Time, Newsweek and New York magazines.
The economic downturn seems to be driving more adventurous travelers to try a home exchange vacation. Swap clubs are reporting increased membership and more new exchangers write to me for advice every day.
It's good news that home exchange is catching on but my crystal ball shows a different trend, one I expect to see more about in the coming years....
