The growth of peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation has been remarkable.
However, the rapid expansion of the phenomenon has yielded several
concerns over its potentially negative economic, social and
environmental impacts. These impacts are highlighted in policy
agendas as an emerging problem encountered by many local
communities in destinations experiencing a boom in P2P
accommodation. Specifically, concerns have been raised over the
impact of the growth of P2P accommodation on local housing markets,
residents' well-being and the environment as a result of the
touristification of residential areas. In fact, many observers
accuse P2P accommodation of fuelling the 'overtourism' problem that
several destinations face. This edited book addresses the need to
examine the P2P accommodation phenomenon from a community
resilience lens. In particular, through a collection of chapters
presenting a range of empirical and conceptual perspectives from
urban and rural communities, the book considers the implications of
P2P accommodation growth on the resilience of local communities and
the sustainable development of places. This book highlights: * The
rapid growth of P2P accommodation yields economic, social and
environmental negative impacts on destinations. * The P2P
accommodation sector is evolving towards professionalization which,
in turns, creates further implications for local community
resilience. * This book draws attention towards the need to examine
the nexus between P2P accommodation, sustainability and local
community resilience. * The collection of chapters presents
empirical and conceptual perspectives from urban and rural
communities. * Chapters impart significant insights to
policymakers, practitioners and academics in light of the COVID-19
pandemic.
