About the project

This research is supported by the National Science Centre, Poland.

The aim of the project is to identify and analyse local differences in the development and functioning of Airbnb networks in comparison to the traditional hotel industry. The analysis focuses on the characteristics of Airbnb networks and traditional hotels in selected capital cities of the European Union with intensive tourism.

The research project is motivated by the assumption that the increasing importance of Airbnb in tourism services has a significant impact on the sustainable development of cities and on the usage of housing assets.
