Are You One of the Million People Traveling to Washington D.c for the Obama Inauguration? You Need to Read This!

Since the election of Barack Obama, Viscape - the world’s first Web site to combine vacation home search, real estate, travel planning, and social networking - has announced the availability of more than 300 Washington, D.C.-area affordable rental homes and housing swaps for the upcoming presidential inauguration. Viscape has seen a 1,000 percent increase in D.C. rental property listings and DC destination page views. Community members for the site continue to add short-term and vacation rental properties daily and travelers continue to discover reliable and affordable deals for their inauguration stay.

“Many Obama supporters and political enthusiasts want to travel to D.C. for the inauguration, but haven’t found a way to fit the trip into their budget. Viscape wants people to know that ‘yes you can’ make the trip, you just have to be creative,” said Caroline Allison, president of Viscape. “Viscape provides travelers with non-traditional, affordable housing options throughout the Washington, D.C. area and offers a place to connect with other people looking to travel to the inauguration.”

Obama’s inauguration is expected to draw a crowd of more than one million to Washington D.C. and the surrounding areas.  There are approximately 90,000 hotel rooms in the Washington, D.C. area, with the majority of those rooms booked months ago. With more than 300 available rental properties listed on www.viscape.com , Viscape is confident that anyone wishing to travel to DC can find suitable options on the site. Currently, rental properties hold anywhere from two to 20 people and rent from as low as $41 to more than $3,000 per night.

Viscape realizes that people may have never rented their home to travelers, and many travelers have never stayed in a rental home or participated in a swap. To assist renters, swappers and travelers through the process, the Viscape blog (http://blog.viscape.com) is offering relevant information and tips leading up to the inauguration. For travelers, the blog provides suggestions on how to plan an affordable inauguration trip and an attractions map with markers designating inauguration events.  For private Washington home owners, the Viscape blog will provide rental tips and suggestions to ensure a smooth and intelligent transaction.  Lastly, Viscape will offer tips for locals hoping to swap homes or travelers on a budget and will provide home-swapping and home-sharing advice while connecting people from all over the world.
