Description
Peer-to-Peer Accommodation Networks Pushing the Boundaries by Sara Dolnicar This book presents a new conceptual framework for understanding the rapid success of peer-to-peer accommodation networks, such as Airbnb. Drawing on her first-hand experience as a host, respected tourism academic Sara Dolnicar examines the factors that drive their growth and offers insights into related topics like charitable activities and social activism. The book explores key issues including the disruptive innovation model, pricing strategies, and the role of genuine network members in creating successful businesses. By investigating these topics through first-hand empirical results, Dolnicar provides valuable information for those studying and working within the tourism and hospitality industries. With its focus on the international context and a specific emphasis on Airbnb, this book offers a unique perspective on the impact of peer-to-peer accommodation networks on the hospitality industry.
