In the age of the Internet, many of the larger guesthouses can form strategic alliances or create their own websites. By offering information publicly on the Internet, they allow potential guests to do their own research and book rooms online. By so doing, they can reduce customers 'fears of the unknown and can market their guesthouses more effectively.
在此同時，拜網路發達之賜，大多數較具規模的民宿業者均已透過策略聯盟或製作個別網站的方式，將資訊公開上網，讓民眾可以輕易上網查閱、訂房，對異地陌生民宿的「戒心」減少，更有利於民宿的行銷。
