The Olympic Games in Paris and the European Football Championship in Germany “magnetize” thousands of travelers, as Airbnb data shows.
As the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games approach, visitors from around the world are trying to secure a front-row seat to the event.
Although Paris is the most searched city in the world on Airbnb this summer, cities like Lille, Versailles and Lyon are popular thanks to the strategic decision to hold the games across France.
Listing pages viewed during the Games period are on average 11 times higher in French host cities and surrounding areas compared to the previous year.
With the European Football Championship kicking off in ten venues across Germany in June, three of the host cities – Dortmund, Munich and Stuttgart – have become popular destinations for visitors from around the world this summer.
