Hospitality exchange is social networking that allows people to find a place to stay or simply meet travellers or local people.

  • Hospitality Club (HC): is the biggest network, but there are issues of censorship and basically one person is in control.
  • BeWelcome (BW): is a new hospitality exchange network, controlled by NGO BeVolunteer, created by HC dissidents.
  • CouchSurfing (CS): is also big, and its policies are somewhat more open and democratic. Managed by a non-profit organization.

Servas is an offline hospitality exchange network, more than 50 years old, and somewhat inconvenient for today's youth, but apparently it is completely democratic (including elections).
