In Paris, but also in Clichy, Saint-Denis or even Versailles, apartment rentals on the Airbnb platform are exploding with the opening of the second phase of ticket sales for the 2024 Olympic Games.
Winning ticket for Airbnb: at more than a year of the first tests of the 2024 Olympic Games, ten thousand overnight stays have already been booked in the Ile-de-France region through the accommodation booking platform.
These booking records are not about to stop, since since the opening of the second phase of ticket sales, the platform has recorded nine times more searches compared to previous weeks.
In the list of the most sought-after cities: Paris and Marseille, where aquatic events will take place, but also cities at the gates of the capital. In particular Clichy, Boulogne, Saint-Denis, and Versailles which will host several events around equestrian sports, as well as marathon.
According to the booking site, 60% of those who have already booked their stay come from European countries, 20% come from the United States. Asian tourists should also gradually return to the platform.
In total, according to a study recently published by Deloitte, more than half a million visitors could stay in accommodation booked on Airbnb during the Games period. Enough to put butter in the spinach of Ile-de-France hosts who could touch on average nearly 2 000 euros gross for the stay.
