Impact on hospitality industry

Hotels have registered a decrease in their short and

long-stay bookings as travellers now prefer to rent

apartments for their stay. Thus impact the hotels’

revenue.

A new competitor for hotels of all categories

Local businesses might promote more the Airbnb system

than hotels as Airbnb guests spend more then hotel

guests.

New York City even took legal measures to reduce the

negative impact of Airbnb on hotels: they will limit the

renting time period to 30 days.
