At "Cote Etoile Maezato," a long-stay apartment hotel operated by Island Group Co., Ltd. (Ishigaki City, Okinawa Prefecture; CEO: Ryohei Yoshida; Accommodation Brand: iStay),
we are currently seeing an increase in reservations via our official website, and popular dates are beginning to fill up.
This facility proposes a new accommodation model for Ishigaki Island by applying the LCC (Low-Cost Carrier) philosophy to lodging, serving as a hotel that "focuses on the value necessary for your stay."
■ Background
In recent years, as tourism demand has recovered on Ishigaki Island, accommodation costs have continued to rise, making the challenge of "wanting to stay for a long time but facing high costs" increasingly apparent.
Furthermore, with the spread of remote work, new styles of staying such as "tourism + work" and "short-term relocation" are on the rise.
Against this backdrop, there is a growing need for long-stay accommodation facilities that combine "hotel comfort" with "residential functionality."
■ Feature 1: Overwhelming Cost Performance
Our facility achieves a price structure that keeps accommodation costs low by specializing in necessary functions and eliminating unnecessary services.
By applying the "LCC (Low-Cost Carrier) model" to lodging—essentially "keeping what is necessary and cutting what is not"—we have realized a price range that becomes even more economical for long-term stays.
