Suggested future research of Airbnb's influence on the local community
| Aspect/issue | Suggested future research |
|---|---|
| Impact on the local community | There is still a scarcity of research on the influence of Airbnb on the local community. Future studies could focus on the impact of Airbnb on the community in terms of social, economic and cultural factors, including resident displacement, touristification and social injustice |
| Host characteristics | Future studies could further investigate the characteristics of Airbnb hosts, including whether they are truly ordinary people or professional investors, developers and landlords. This could help to determine the accuracy of Airbnb's claims about its hosts |
| Airbnb supply and its effect on hotels | More research is needed to examine the relationship between Airbnb supply and hotel revenue per available room, average daily rate and occupancy rates. Future studies could also explore the impact of Airbnb on different types of hotels, such as economy and luxury hotels |
| Concentration of Airbnb activity | Further research is needed to understand the concentration of Airbnb activity in certain areas, such as those near attractions or in the city center, and its effects on the surrounding areas. Future studies could also explore the phenomenon of “tourist gentrification” caused by Airbnb's territorial concentration |
| Competition with hotels | Future research could explore the competition between Airbnb and hotels, particularly in terms of growth and seasonality patterns. Studies could also examine how the supply of Airbnb can be a solution to the low profitability and high seasonality of sun and beach destinations |
| Transparency in traditional tourist destinations | More research is needed to investigate the effect of Airbnb's transparency on the traditional tourist accommodation supply, particularly in terms of its impact on hotel occupancy rates |
