Airbnb demand for unique homes high



AIRBNB'S 2021 data release showed that travelers are booking unique abodes, such as cabins, tiny homes and treehouses, to break the monotony of the past year spent in lockdown. Nearly 70 percent of respondents to a recent Airbnb survey indicated they want to be able to filter for unique stays when searching for trip accommodation.

According to latest Airbnb data, notable searches for certain types of unique homes went up 10 times over compared to just two years ago. Searches for yurts have spiked by approximately 1700 percent while searches for earth houses and barns have increased 1,285 percent and 1,068 percent, respectively.
