US guests are also wanderlusting after quaint stays immersed in autumnal colors. From picturesque Northeast cities full of fall activities to Midwestern leaf-peeping destinations, US visitors are gravitating towards these top destinations throughout the season.
These urban locales are also proving to be the most popular places to stay for trips 28 nights or longer, with 60 percent of long term nights booked in cities. Searches for stays in large and mid-sized cities make up about a third of searches each for fall, compared to more than half for stays in just large cities in fall 2019. Guests’ rising and diversified interest in mid-sized cities extends beyond the weekend and is focused on fall scenery. When it comes to locations for the long(er) holiday weekend, mid-sized cities rich in character such as Philadelphia and Santa Fe, and farther flung, beautiful getaways like San Juan, Puerto Rico and Anchorage are top destinations amongst US guests. Over Labor Day Weekend specifically–the official mark to the end of summer in the US–a large share of trips are seven nights or longer.
Weekday stays also grew from 63 percent in Q2 2019 to 65 percent in 2021, suggesting a considerable shift of well more than two percentage points given the drop in business travel, with company business travel budgets being cut by up to 90 percent***. Longer weekend trips with families lasting three to four days are up 70 percent from Q2 2019 to Q2 2021**, proving that this upcoming season continues to be a good time to consider hosting. With the remote work trend continuing into fall, so does the increase in trips extending beyond just a weekend. With summer winding down and seasons beginning to change, they’re now looking to connect in large-to-mid-sized cities for longer stays.Īfter making 100+ upgrades across our entire service, this past summer* US Hosts on Airbnb with only one listing have collectively earned more than $1.3 billion – some hosting while they were away and providing access to their one-of-a-kind unique stays.
