Sharing accommodation is a business model where individuals rent out their residential properties or parts of them to guests on a short-term or long-term basis through online platforms. This model utilizes underused assets and connects hosts directly with guests for peer-to-peer transactions.
The primary types of shared accommodation include economy, comfortable, boutique, luxury, and others. Economy-type shared accommodations offer an affordable alternative to traditional hotels. Booking modes for these accommodations include both offline and online options. They are used for various purposes such as tourism, business trips, and more.
Tariffs have influenced the sharing accommodation market by increasing costs of imported furnishings, smart home devices, and renovation materials used by hosts. These impacts are more visible in premium and boutique accommodation segments. Higher tariffs have raised setup and maintenance expenses for property owners. At the same time, tariffs have encouraged sourcing of locally manufactured furniture and home equipment, supporting domestic suppliers and reducing dependency on imports.
