Homestay organisation looks to the US for expansion
Share on LinkedinShare on TwitterShare on FacebookShare via Email

MyStay International has announced its intention to relaunch the American Homestay Network to capitalise on the potential of homestay opportunities in the USA.

The company, which has the well-known Australian Homestay Network in its portfolio, is seeking a USA-based investment partner to own 50% of the relaunched American Homestay Network (AHN-USA).

Founder and Executive Director David Bycroft has spoken exclusively with The Koala and states, “The investment opportunity is USD 2.5M for 50% equity and a Board position. The entire investment will fund the system development, market-entry, operations, and relaunch.”

MyStay International (MSI) is the current 100% owner and is a global Hosted Accommodation and Technology provider based in Brisbane, Australia.

Bycroft states “MSI will be actively involved in the strategy, technology development, support, and management of AHN-USA. Our strategy addresses the substantial rise in International Student enrolment in US colleges and universities and will build off a history of operations in the USA (pre-COVID).”

“It is also ideally timed during the current accommodation crisis in key international student locations.” He says.

The Koala wishes MSI well with its expansion plans.
