Airbnb is one of the typical companies in the sharing economy and has extended its business scale in 191 countries around the world. In recent years, Airbnb tries to actively develop its business in various countries and seek for legalization locally, but because of security, regulations limitation, taxes and other social issues, countries or local governments have updated regulations to meet or limit Airbnb in the local development. This study aims to study price gap between Airbnb & the traditional hotel in those 51 destinations, and what factors will have impacts on Airbnb price level; through relevant data collection in those 51 destinations, the findings found the traditional hotel price is more than double Airbnb price. This price gap will affect many travelers’ accommodation choices. Moreover, rental index and hotel prices will also affect the Airbnb price level. Therefore, Airbnb’s high development will affect local rental index and have certain impact on the traditional hotel industry.
Airbnb entered Taiwan in 2013 and launched a traditional Chinese interface in 2017; however, its business has not been legalized by Taiwan government yet. In response to the subsequent prosperous tourism and economic development, the government policy should have the concept to assist the development of such sharing economic enterprises locally. Furthermore, the government can update the out-of-date regulations to solve safety and tax issues for such new business models in order to create a win-win situation.
