Hotel booking platform operator Good Choice launches space rental service

SEOUL — South Korean accommodation booking services operator Good Choice will launch a space rental service allowing customers to rent spaces such as party rooms, film studios, training rooms and common kitchens.

Space rental services have grown in popularity as demand for indoor leisure activities has increased in South Korea amid a coronavirus pandemic. According to space rental platform SpaceCloud, the number of its reservations increased from around 2.1 million in 2020 to around 3.1 million in 2021. Users of the space rental service can enjoy meetings in a classy party room with wine glasses or hold academic meetings in a small conference room. .

Good Choice said in a statement that the space rental service will launch on January 21. Users can work out, record music and enjoy parties through the company’s booking app called Yeogi Eottae. Good Choice CEO Chung Myung-hoon said more and more consumers are seeking various experiences by renting space instead of owning it.
