Although the controversy regarding Airbnb by professionals does not seem to want to stop, apparently travellers' interest in the sharing economy is significantly decreasing compared to the past. According to MMGY Global 's Portrait of American Travelers study , based on the opinions of 3,000 Americans who have taken at least one trip in the last twelve months, only 33% of respondents are interested in staying in a short-term rental home; a notable drop compared to 41% in 2017 and also 37% in 2016. However, interest in hotels is in excellent health: 75% expressed interest in large chain hotels, 66% in luxury facilities and 61% appreciate hotels with limited services.
Breaking down the results by generation, millennials are the most interested in the sharing economy , with 46%, followed by Generation X (31%), baby boomers (22%) and older travelers (only 14%). About 20% of respondents have stayed in a home-sharing home at least once in the last 12 Denmark Phone Number months, down slightly from 22% in 2017. 14% have used Airbnb while the remaining 5% have used platforms such as VRBO or HomeAway . Interestingly, although interest and the number of stays is relatively low, 27% of respondents still intend to book a short-term rental home ; this is a significant increase compared to 2017 (19%) and 2016 (19%).
Here too, millennials are the generation most likely to seek alternative solutions (42%), followed by Generation X (22%). According to the survey, the top three reasons why travelers don't like home sharing are that they don't want to share their stay with strangers (71%), they prefer hotel spaces (66%) and they don't believe that rented rooms short have the same quality level as those of a hotel (50%). It all starts with Google The centrality of Google in the search for information and fares is increasing, with 41% of travelers turning to Google first , up from 40% in 2017 and 32% in 2016. Google is considered the starting point in search for all generations except for the older audience, who still prefer to search via specific websites, especially airlines (36%).
