Airbnb says travel on its platform contributed more than $90 billion to the U.S. economy in 2024—a new record—driven by guest spending, host earnings, and related business activity across the country.
The company released the figures on May 29, estimating that stays booked on Airbnb supported more than 1 million U.S. jobs and helped generate more than $52 billion in labor income. Nearly half of all guest spending occurred within the neighborhoods where travelers stayed, including restaurants, entertainment venues, and small businesses, the report found.
