Phocuswright Research Finds Europe's Private Accommodations Present a Big Opportunity
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 02/19/15 -- The private accommodation market in Europe is significantly larger than in the U.S. According to a by travel industry research authority Phocuswright, more than twice as many British, French and German travelers -- as a percentage of the respective traveler populations -- have stayed in private accommodations over the past year. France, Germany and the U.K. alone are home to some 33 million rental travelers versus just 22 million U.S. travelers.
Europe's rental traveler population is growing, reports Phocuswright's . The percentage of travelers who have rented a home, flat, villa or cottage rose significantly in 2014 in the U.K. and France, reflecting both an improving overall economic environment and demand for travel, as well as rising awareness and use of private accommodations. Only in Germany was there a slight downturn, likely reflecting the slowdown of the broader economy there.
"Although the U.S. is home to two of the largest innovators in private accommodation -- Airbnb and HomeAway -- Europe presents a substantially larger opportunity," says Phocuswright's vice president, research, Douglas Quinby. "The percentage of European travelers who rent is more than twice that of the U.S."
