The Airbnb platform has drawn up this list based on the reservations people are making for next year. USA) and Buriram (Thailand), Bilbao occupies second position.

Among the reasons to place the Vizcaine capital in the second place of the list is the year-on-year rise of 402% that Airbnb has had in the city. With this data, it can be understood that the tourist apartments are replacing in Bilbao the apartments in which they reside.

The doctor in sociology and defender of the right to housing, Javier Gil, has read the data through Twitter. Gil explained that, according to data obtained through AirDNA, renting a home in Bilbao via Airbnb costs an average of 122 dollars a day (109.69 euros). The average occupancy of the houses is 22 days per month. With these two data you can calculate the monthly income of a tourist apartment: EUR 2,420

It has also explained the impact that this has: tourist apartments represent the homes in which they reside, reducing the offer of apartments for rent and causing an increase in the price of them. “As real estate rents rise, they also rise to those of the counterparts,” he said.
