Navigating the Accommodation Shortage During Euro 2024

Germany Hosts Euro 2024

As anticipation builds for Euro 2024, Europe’s premier football / soccer championship, a significant demand for accommodations is imminent. While fans eagerly book their stays, clients could face a unique challenge: navigating the higher prices and limited lodging options for relocating employees. In this article, we explore the impact of Euro 2024 on corporate accommodations and discuss strategies for clients to manage the crunch effectively.

Understanding the Demand for Host Cities

The Championship for the men’s UEFA league is held once every four years. Making Euro 2024 not just a sporting event but a cultural phenomenon that attracts millions of spectators from around the globe. Fans will assemble in ten host cities across Germany to witness a total of 49 matches and soak in the electrifying atmosphere. Consequently, the demand for accommodations will skyrocket, putting pressure on hotels, furnished apartments, and corporate housing providers.

The Corporate Dilemma

For clients with employees traveling to Euro 2024 host cities for assignment purposes, securing suitable accommodations is critical. However, the surge in demand could lead to a scarcity of available options, which could drive prices even higher and corporate clients are already facing inflated rates and limited availability, which could also challenge relocation budgets.

Strategies for Corporate Clients

  • Plan Early:   Corporate clients should start planning now to maximize their chances of securing preferred lodging options at reasonable rates. Early booking not only ensures availability but also allows for better negotiation leverage.
  • Consult with the Experts: Engaging the expertise of corporate relocation management companies like NEI can streamline the accommodation process for businesses. We specialize in navigating complex situations and can offer tailored solutions and flexibility to meet the unique needs of corporate clients amidst high-demand scenarios like Euro 2024.
  • Work with Vetted Suppliers: NEI builds and maintains long-term service partner relationships through our Global Service Partner Relations (GSPR) team. The success of our GSPR department has enabled us to work with “service partners,” not “suppliers”, who are committed to delivering “Service Exceeding Expectations”.
