"One of Airbnb's most underappreciated competitive advantages is how it has quietly become a home for long-term travelers. In 2024, stays of 28 nights or more made up 18% of gross nights booked, according to company filings. That's not a small niche -- it's nearly one in five stays. This trend aligns with broader shifts in how people work and live."
"This trend aligns with broader shifts in how people work and live. Remote and hybrid work have unlocked new flexibility, allowing millions to combine travel with their professional lives. Instead of a one-week vacation, travelers are booking a month or more. For digital nomads, Airbnb has become a default option, blending affordability with the comforts of home. More extended stays are also attractive financially. They often mean fewer gaps between bookings for hosts and less churn for the platform, which supports higher stability in revenue."
Airbnb is a global travel platform with more than 5 million hosts and over 2 billion guest arrivals worldwide. Longer stays of 28 nights or more comprised 18% of gross nights booked in 2024, driven by remote and hybrid work that allows travelers to combine work and travel. Month-plus bookings appeal to digital nomads by offering affordability and home comforts. Extended stays reduce gaps between bookings and lower platform churn, supporting more stable revenue. International expansion offers a massive addressable market beyond Airbnb's strong North American and European presence. Airbnb is building a broader travel ecosystem to capture more travel demand and diversify revenue sources. These factors represent key levers for future growth.
