As the Director of Mexico Boutique Hotels I'v spent the last decade helping to promote small, independent hotels in Mexico and I firmly believe they offer the very best venues to truly discover a destination and a country. You mention important points and I thank you for reminding us how important and enriching it can be to support small business owners and their dream. Gracias! Wonderful article.

I like to stay at small and local places as it means i get to know real people and leave my money in what are often places with low economies. however, i can say that the YHA in New Zealand does provide very fidderent accom in every hostel - they're a certainly not a 'chain' in the sameness sense. I have stayed at very small hostel type accom in Kota Bharu,Malaysia about 5 times and no matter how many years later i turn up, they greet me by name!!! (Zecks homestay ) great piece .
