Guest nights in short-stay rentals booked through online platforms
Nights spent by guests, residents of the country and visitors from abroad together, in short-stay accommodation (NACE Rev. 2 group 55.2: holiday flats, houses and rooms) booked through Airbnb, Booking or Expedia, from booking data the platforms share with Eurostat. Every guest counts: a family of four staying three nights is 12 guest nights.
Official statistics compiled by Eurostat from data the platforms transmit under agreements with the European Commission, published only as totals across platforms. Data start in 2018. Tripadvisor also reported until 2024; Eurostat found no break when it left. Hotels listed on the platforms are not included. Do not add these nights to tourist_nights: national accommodation surveys already count some of the same rentals. Eurostat withholds NUTS 3 values where few bookings would reveal individual hosts.
