Summary/Abstract: The current changes in tourist accommodation transformed the tourist patterns dramatically. As modern alternative, the shared accommodation (or P2P-accommodation) competes the traditional hotel industry successfully through the last decade. One of the most common questions is: What makes it so preferred and catalyzes the growth and success of P2P-accommodation? To answer this question partially, the current paper tries to reveal the role and meaning of internet and modern mobile technologies as prerequisite and, at the same time, reason for the dynamic development of P2Paccommodation trough last years.
