Back Online peer-to-peer accommodation services used by 1 in 6 EU citizens


According to 2017 survey results, 17% of individuals in the EU arranged accommodation (room, apartment, house, holiday cottage, etc.) via websites or apps from another private individual for private purposes in the preceding 12 months. Most of them used dedicated websites or apps, but other websites or apps (including those of social networks) have also had a share in facilitating those activities. These peer-to-peer services are part of the so called 'collaborative' or 'sharing economy'.
