Airbnb Hosts earned $11.8 million during biggest weekends of 2019

CONCORD — Airbnb, the world’s leading community driven hospitality company, announced that its New Hampshire host community earned a combined $11.8 million in supplemental income while welcoming approximately 57,400 guest arrivals to the state for the five biggest guest arrival weekends in 2019, including Columbus Day Weekend and several peak summer travel weekends.

“2019 was another great year for Airbnb in New Hampshire, with more local residents embracing the economic opportunities offered by home sharing, and small businesses and entire communities benefiting as a result,” said Josh Meltzer, Head of Northeast Public Policy. “As we dive into this new year, we are especially proud of the important role that our hosts have played in creating additional accommodations supply during the state’s top travel weekends while leveraging this demand to earn supplemental income. We hope that these insights will help New Hampshire families who are looking to open up their home as a short-term rental in identifying some of the best times of the year to do so.”
