The opportunity is compelling, but scale typically breaks down where booking friction, variable standards, weak policy thresholds and fragmented supplier management are prevalent. As corporate travel shifts toward longer project stays, relocation transitions and purposeful consolidated trips, extended stay is becoming a more relevant commercial lever rather than a \u201cniche\u201d accommodation choice.
