“…From both a demand and a supply perspective, we see that preferences regarding tourism have undergone a few recent drastic changes. For instance, Airbnb booking patterns also reveal that the consumers' interest in activities in the central parts of larger cities have dropped worldwide, but retained a relatively strong market foothold in the suburban parts, while many traditional tourism destinations developed mitigation strategies to cope with decreasing destination interest ( Cvelbar, Farčnik, & Ogorevc, 2021 ; Kourtit, Nijkamp, Osth, & Turk, 2022 ; Liang, Leng, Yuan, & Yuan, 2021 ; Türk & Sap, 2021 ). In a recent review study, Sharma, Thomas, and Paul (2021) find that well-being, sustainability, and climate action were keywords in studies on the resilience of leisure firm resilience in the post-pandemic era.…”

PurposeThe paper intends to review academic research on peer to peer (P2P) accommodation sharing, notably Airbnb, for 2010–2022 and to identify the knowledge gaps for future research directions.Design/methodology/approachNumerous databases were searched using keywords. Based on the central theme of the research papers, the papers were divided into eight segments—consumer behavior, host behavior, host–guest relationship (HGR), trust in Airbnb, dominant theories in Airbnb, Airbnb regulation, Airbnb and hotels and macro impacts of Airbnb. In-depth content analysis resulted in the final 101 papers for inclusion.FindingsThe review advances comprehension of the Airbnb phenomenon by enriching the literature with new and most recent studies. Most existing Airbnb research has been conducted in Europe, USA/Canada, followed by Asian countries like China, Singapore, S. Korea and India. Future studies should include South America, Africa and other developing nations. More cross-cultural studies are required to understand consumer and host behavior in different cultural settings. Numerous proposals to fulfill the research gaps identified by the paper are discussed.Practical implicationsThe study will give better insights into the spiraling P2P accommodation economy. The study will be useful to researchers, scholars, Airbnb, the hotel industry, vacation rental players and destination marketing organizations by relating the study findings to practical competition analysis. The study provides deeper insights into the decision-making process of both guests and hosts by examining the relevant motivators and constraints. It will also assist the Airbnb platform in identifying its strength over the traditional hotel industry and other vacation rentals. The findings will also assist policymakers in better controlling the Airbnb phenomena by providing a comprehensive view of the micro and macro environment.Originality/valueThe paper includes the most recent studies from Asian countries like India, Singapore, China, Korea and Taiwan, not covered by earlier reviews. Prior studies mainly focused on European and American countries. Also, the paper tried to cover the macro impacts of Airbnb in-depth and the effects of COVID-19.

“…A contemporary crisis (e.g. COVID-19) allows us to view resilience as an essential lens for examining how a particular crisis can impact the hospitality and tourism industry economically and socioculturally (Kourtit et al, 2022). P2P accommodations have been integrated into many residential areas and altered their economic, social and cultural aspects (Gil and Sequera, 2020), as P2P accommodation encourages more sustainable consumption (Frenken and Schor, 2017).…”

Purpose Drawing on the social exchange theory, stakeholder theory and extended theory of reasoned action, this study aims to investigate how consumers view the economic and sociocultural impacts (benefits/costs) of peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodations on the local community’s resilience and how consumers form behavioral intentions toward P2P accommodation as a part of sustainable tourism behavior. Design/methodology/approach With data from a survey of 300 consumers who have previously used P2P accommodation, the authors performed partial least squares-structural equation modeling to test the proposed model and hypotheses. Findings The current study reveals the significant impact of the sociocultural benefits of P2P accommodations on consumers’ perceived community resilience, while economic benefits have a non-significant impact on perceived community resilience. Moreover, neither the sociocultural nor economic costs of P2P accommodation significantly reduce consumers’ perceived community resilience. Furthermore, the authors found significant positive relationships among perceived community resilience, attitude, subjective norm, personal norm and behavioral intentions. Practical implications P2P accommodation platforms can leverage these research findings and contribute to the community resilience and help community residents by establishing strategic collaboration with various stakeholders (e.g. governments, destination marketing organizations and non-profit organizations) for the community’s sustainable development. Originality/value This study systematically investigates the role of P2P accommodation in achieving community resilience by categorizing the impacts of P2P accommodation into economic and sociocultural benefits/costs.
