As an alternative way of offering goods and services, it has significantly changed the global tourism market.

The scale of Airbnb rentals in Poland, the dynamics of its development, the characteristic of the offers, as well as the issues of spatial diversification were analyzed. The study is based on data obtained from the AirDNA portal (as of November 2017).
