Top 100 Largest Airbnb Markets in World
Updated June, 2025

The occupancy rate, daily rate, and revenue are averages from the last twelve months, starting from the last updated period. Methodology for Airbtics Market Score: The Airbtics Market Score indicates how attractive a location is for Airbnb investment. The primary criterion is short-term rental yield, which is the percentage of revenue relative to property price. The second criterion is regulation, with markets that have STR-friendly rules receiving a higher score. The remaining three criteria are:

  1. Market size (larger markets score higher due to the ease of acquiring and selling properties)
  2. Growth (whether the market is becoming saturated)
  3. Seasonality (less seasonality is preferred)
