913. Regulation Slows Airbnb Growth In Popular Markets

Been watching this trend, all year…

https://skift.com/2017/04/14/airbnbs-growth-slows-in-markets-where-it-faces-more-regulation

A new report from UBS seems to suggest that stricter regulations on short-term rentals in cities such as New York and Barcelona are, in fact, having a negative impact on Airbnb’s business.

According to a report compiled by the UBS Evidence Lab, Airbnb listings and bookings on a global basis are growing at a considerably slower pace than just one year ago.

Although listings in Airbnb’s seven largest markets grew 40 percent year over year and nights booked grew 60 percent year over year from December 2016 to February 2017, the pace of growth has decelerated. The report’s authors suggest this is the case because there are simply more listings globally, and also because of regulatory action in some of Airbnb’s top markets.

Here are more stories about regulations around the world:
