Airbnb bookings in China increases 200% for the first half of April

The number of bookings for the week of April 13 in 10 big Chinese cities were up nearly 80% from the week of March 16.

While the coronavirus pandemic has frozen global travel and hit the travel industry hard, data from home-sharing startup Airbnb shows the number of domestic bookings in China for the first half of April were up more than 200% compared with the same period in March.

Data from AirDNA, a separate analytics firm, showed the number of bookings for the week of April 13 in 10 big Chinese cities, including Shanghai and Guangzhou, were up nearly 80% from the week of March 16, which AirDNA Chief Executive Scott Shatford said was the bottom for that market. Still, that’s about half the bookings seen the week of Jan. 6. Shatford said his firm’s data includes bookings from international travelers staying in China.

AirDNA data also show the daily average rate in China from May onward is similar to what it was in 2019. Shatford said Airbnb owners do not offer big discounts online to lure travelers the way hotels might.
