Revisiting Airbnb’s disruption of hotels: Uneven impacts across markets, segments, and accommodation types
研究分析了巴塞罗那、伦敦和巴黎的数据，发现Airbnb供应对酒店每间可用客房收入有负面影响，且影响程度因市场、酒店档次和房源类型而异，为酒店管理者和政策制定者提供了参考。
This study explores the impact of home-sharing platforms, like Airbnb, on the hotel industry by analyzing data from Barcelona, London, and Paris. The results reveal that Airbnb supply negatively impacts hotel RevPAR, with the severity of the effect varying by market, hotel segment, and type of Airbnb listing. Notably, the influence of Airbnb supply differs significantly between markets, being generally less pronounced in the Economy and Luxury hotel segments compared to mid-range segments, though this pattern varies by city. Both types of Airbnb listings have statistically significant effects on hotel performance, but the economic impact is typically weaker for 'non-hotel comparables.' These findings provide valuable insights for hotel managers and policymakers as they navigate the evolving dynamics between home-sharing platforms and the traditional hotel industry. • This study examines Airbnb's impact on hotels in Barcelona, London, Paris using industry data. • Airbnb supply impacts markets differently. • Airbnb reduces hotel RevPAR; effects vary by market, segment, and listing type. • Economy and luxury hotels less affected by Airbnb than mid-range, with city-specific differences. • Both Airbnb types affect hotels; 'non-hotel comparable' units have weaker economic impact.
