Airbnb just announced $93 billion in US economic impact. Strategic timing.
In 33 days, Europe flips the switch.
On 20 May, EU Regulation 2024/1028 goes live.
Every STR platform must share monthly data. With all 27 member states. Listings. Registrations. Nights booked.
No more estimates. No more platform-commissioned studies. Real numbers, every month.
Here's why that matters:
→ Lisbon has already lost ~40% of its STR permits → Barcelona is phasing out STRs by 2028 → Amsterdam is cutting caps to 15 nights in hot zones → Portugal's registered STRs will drop below 90k this spring (from 126k)
All of this happened BEFORE authorities had real data.
Imagine what happens…
