| description | The Airbnb platform, one of the most popular platforms of its kind, is present
worldwide, with a variety of accommodations, depending on the type of accommodation it
offers (single room, whole apartment, etc.). In this article, we set out to analyse the spatial
allocation of accommodation and the density of Airbnb listings in comparison with hotel
establishments in Europe. For the spatial analysis of Airbnb accommodations we used data
from the Inside Airbnb website and QGIS, an application used for geographic information
systems (GIS) that supports visualization, editing, and analysis of geospatial data. In this
way, we created a geospatial database that helped us better understand the dynamics of
each location. After analysing the data we concluded that a consequence of the
concentration of Airbnb accommodation is that life in these areas has become more
expensive and more crowded for locals. Airbnb accommodation has caused inconvenience
not only to hotel owners but also to locals. In addition, Airbnb is having a strong impact on
the rental market by increasing rental prices. Another trend that can be seen from the
distribution of Airbnb accommodation is that in cities with a seafront location,
accommodation is located close to beaches and most accommodation is of the entire
home/apartment type. Differences in the frequency of use and prices of listings highlight the
geographical inequality in the benefits and impact of Airbnb's activity. The Airbnb offer is
not a uniform segment of tourist accommodation and its effects on destinations are
important and should therefore be analysed in relation to the territorial context. |
