Economic Assessment of the STR Segment in the EU
Local rules that severely limit the supply of short-term rentals have failed to improve the availability of affordable housing while hurting local hosts and increasing travel costs for everyday Europeans.
A new study by Oxford Economics commissioned by Airbnb highlights the positive impact of short-term rentals on countries across the EU. Travellers staying in short-term rentals generated €149 billion in economic benefits, supported 2.1 million jobs and generated €40 billion in total tax revenue in 2023.
Rural areas have particularly benefited from this positive impact, as 55 percent of travellers in short-term rentals stayed outside of major cities in 2023. This trend is growing and the number of short-term rental nights stayed in rural locations has doubled since 2020.
While Oxford Economics finds short-term rentals’ impact on housing to be minimal and limited to specific neighbourhoods, excessive and poorly targeted regulations implemented in some European cities have unsurprisingly failed to address local challenges. Find out more about the economic learnings across specific cities throughout the EU.
