Paris, the epicenter of the 2024 Olympics, naturally takes the lead as the most sought-after destination on Airbnb this summer. However, the decision to spread Paris 2024 across various cities in France has caused a ripple effect, propelling lesser-known cities like Lille, Versailles, and Lyon into the travel limelight.

Similarly, as the European Football Championships kick off in Germany, cities like Dortmund, Munich, and Stuttgart are emerging as trending destinations. Meanwhile, in the US, host cities for America’s Soccer Tournament, including Glendale, AZ, and Las Vegas, NV, are also experiencing a surge in interest.

With global sporting events on the horizon, travelers are seeking more than just a place to stay; they crave immersive experiences. On Airbnb has witnessed a surge in searches, indicating a growing demand for stays that offer unique and playful amenities. From basketball courts to water slides, guests are on the hunt for accommodations that promise excitement and adventure.

Airbnb guests are increasingly drawn to stays that offer a deeper connection to the local culture. They seek accommodations that reflect the authenticity and character of the destination, providing a richer travel experience compared to traditional hotels.

For families, outdoor space is a top priority this summer. Searches for accommodations with outdoor amenities like pools and BBQs have surged by 30%, highlighting the importance of space and comfort for family travelers. With waterfront-themed categories like Beach and Amazing Pools gaining popularity, families are flocking to destinations like Çeşme, Turkey, and Nassau, Bahamas, in search of sun, sand, and relaxation.
