Airbnb's Economic Impact

Home sharing through Airbnb creates an additional income stream for hosts, fuels visitor spending in communities, supports jobs across multiple industries, and contributes substantial tax revenue for local governments.

Public Policy Priorities

Airbnb is committed to working with policymakers to develop best-practice regulatory frameworks and balanced solutions to meet the unique needs of each community and help residents benefit from home sharing.

Methodology

Survey responses are self-reported by US hosts. Estimated total tax revenue is associated with economic activity generated by Airbnb stays, and includes the total value of taxes associated with hosts’ income and spending, the economic activity stemming from guests visiting local businesses, as well as occupancy taxes. Estimated economic impact data is based on an internal analysis using the IMPLAN economic impact model which assesses direct, indirect and induced economic activity. All currency in USD.
