This book explores the rapid growth of the sharing economy, specifically of Airbnb, in recent years and how it has challenged traditional economies in many countries around the globe. With almost 5 million listings in more than 190 countries, many consider Airbnb as one of the most disruptive developments in tourism over the past decade.

This book explores the rapid growth of the sharing economy, specifically of Airbnb, in recent years and how it has challenged traditional economies in many countries around the globe. With almost 5 million listings in more than 190 countries, many consider Airbnb as one of the most disruptive developments in tourism over the past decade.
While this is a book about Western Australia as a case in point, the issues addressed in this book speak to the broader development of the sharing economy and its effects experienced nationally and indeed internationally. Thus, through the adoption of a case-specific analysis of the growth and impact of Airbnb, the book significantly contributes to closing existing knowledge gaps on the Airbnb phenomenon by exploring not only stakeholder perceptions of the sharing economy and Airbnb, the extent of Airbnb supply and demand, and how this differs from conventional accommodation demand, but also what policy responses have been employed in other tourism destinations worldwide. Western Australia in this regard serves as an exemplar case to shed light on the Airbnb phenomenon.
This book presents a comprehensive global study that has investigated the Airbnb phenomenon from a supply, demand, stakeholder, and government response perspective and thus offers new empirical insights, which are of interest to government agencies and the tourism sector and are a valuable source of data to inform current policy debate.

Part Two: Western Australia - A Case in Point Western Australia - Background & ContextChapter 3 provides information on the broader Western Australian context, a snapshot of the state's visitor economy as well as an overview of the debates surrounding the sharing economy and a brief history of the Airbnb phenomenon in Western Australia. Concerns & Hopes of Stakeholders Chapter 4 presents the findings of stakeholder interviews, capturing main concerns and perceived benefits of Airbnb in Western Australia. A diverse range of and sometimes controversial opinions were voiced reflecting different expectations, perceived benefits and concerns by the interviewed stakeholders from industry and government.Airbnb Demand in Western AustraliaThe purpose of Chapter 5 is to explore the characteristics of Airbnb users in Western Australia (WA) compared to Airbnb non-users among visitors to Western Australia, and to understand whether and how they differ from each other.
