North America Airbnb
In addition to the international spots, they also compiled a list of the most sought out places to stay within North America.
- In the United States, midwestern cities like Indianapolis, IN (256%) and Columbus, OH (254%) are seeing some of the strongest growth, driven by booming downtown districts humming with new restaurants, nightlife and local arts. Other high-growth destinations include towns offering ample nature lodging in close proximity to popular national parks, such as Whitefish, MT (242%).
- In North America, destinations within driving distance of the Canadian Rockies are attracting a growing number of guests. Those include the urban hub of Edmonton (284%), as well as Fernie (179%) and Kelowna (170%) – both mountain towns that feature an extensive range of year-round outdoor activities, from cross-country skiing to fly fishing and wine tasting.
I’ve personally used Airbnb and found that it can be a hit and miss platform similar to staying at different hotels. Travelers can use the review data to better find their needs. Users can also acquire month long visits if needed for some locations.
