Direct and Indirect Rebound Effects of Cost Savings from a Peer-to-peer Accommodation Stay

The sharing economy, also known as the peer-to-peer economy, has arisen as a new socioeconomic system. Resulting from the remarkable growth of the sharing economy in the tourism and hospitality industries (i.e., Airbnb), examining its potential impacts on travelers and tourism destinations is essential. Our study seeks to identify how the price difference between traditional hotels and Airbnb affects travelers’ behaviors and spending patterns in a destination. We will recruit the participants using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk—an online crowdsourcing platform. We will use a scenario-based experiment mimicking the booking experience on an Online Travel Agent website.
