AirBnB: An Economic Engine in the EU27

This study seeks to identify Airbnb’s contribution to:

• Economic Impact – Airbnb guests spend in the local area, stimulating the local economy and providing employment opportunities.

• Geographical Dispersion – Airbnb’s model results in visitors staying in a wider range of areas within countries outside of the more typical destinations visited. This has helped drive an observed urbanto-rural shift in tourism.

• Pandemic Resilience – Throughout the pandemic, Airbnb supported travel to both rural and urban locations within the EU27. Despite the significant fall in travel over the pandemic period, Airbnb’s travel fell less than the industry average, indicating pandemic resilience on the part of Airbnb.
