Increasing connectivity facilitated by online social network platforms allows people to share access to their houses, rooms, products, and services for a fee or other compensation. This phenomenon, also termed as peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation, has gained prevalence in travel & tourism marketplaces in the past few years. A number of companies have developed relationships with property managers in different cities worldwide and offer accommodations according to consumer requirements. These companies form a global network of individuals to establish the demand and supply equation in hospitality and tourism industries.
Major factors that drive the use of peer-to-peer accommodations are social appeal due to customers social motivation to get to know, interact, and connect with local communities, and economic appeal owing to the low cost of quality accommodation. Privacy and safety concerns are the prime factors hindering the market growth. Distrust towards the hosts and the online platform used to communicate and execute transactions deter travelers from using P2P accommodations. Participating in collaborative consumption is an opportunity for peers to develop connections with websites involved in collaborative business. Moreover, market players such as Airbnb have an opportunity to establish relations with property dealers to widen their consumer base.
