Airbnb is sharing data that reveals a growing demand for heritage-related travel. In the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy figures shared by Airbnb indicate that bookings for historical homes increased by over 54 percent in 2021 compared to 20191.
To accommodate this growing demand, Airbnb has launched a new Historical Homes category, making it easier for guests to discover almost 20,000 heritage homes in these five countries across Europe – from converted chapels in the UK to centuries-old castles in Germany. To date, the Historical Homes category, offering unique listings of historical significance from the 19th century or earlier, is available in the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain with more countries available soon.
