Airbnb has grown exponentially in popularity since the onset of COVID-19, and looking at Airbnb revenue and bookings may be more indicative of a country’s tourism industry than looking at traditional hotels. Two open source datasets taken from Statista were used in this analysis: Airbnb revenue in Spain from 2015 & 2019 and COVID-19 impact on Airbnb bookings in the GB, France, Spain and Italy 2020-2021. The second dataset was filtered to show only the Spain data. From the first dataset, it can be seen that Airbnb revenue had a 181% increase in the span of four years. From the second dataset, it can be seen that when the first case in Spain was reported on January 31st of 2020, Airbnb bookings had experienced a sharp decline from the previous week, of 15%. After reaching an all time low during the week of March 30th, 2020, with a decline of 97% in bookings, there had been a steady increase until mid July of 2020. While the data is not steadily increasing, the overall trend does show that Airbnb bookings are increasing, though they are still about 20% less than the pre-COVID bookings of 2020. This data corroborates with the increase in tourism to Spain, which is 78% compared to 2020.\n URL:https://oursymposium.sites.unlv.edu/program/impact-of-covid-19-on-tourism-in-spain/ ORGANIZER;CN=The Office of Undergraduate Research:MAILTO:our@unlv.edu CATEGORIES:Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
