Short-term rentals in the EU

Abstract

29% have booked short-term rentals through online platforms at least once; 89% considering this a positive experience they would recommend to others. Results also show how such services can lead to a more diversified tourist offer, offering better prices (63%), better facilities (49%) and better locations (43%). On the other hand, the rapid rise of these services can be felt far beyond the tourism ecosystem: 45% the people surveyed find that more tourists can lead to higher noise, congestion and waste in the broader community and negative effects on prices and availability of housing (42%).
