Collaborative Consumption describes the rapid explosion in swapping, sharing, bartering, trading and renting being reinvented through the latest technologies and peer-to-peer marketplaces in ways and on a scale never possible before.
Airbnb is an example of 'peer-to-peer travel'.
Airbnb is a trusted community marketplace for people to list, discover, and book unique spaces around the world online or from an iPhone. Whether the available space is a castle for a night, a sailboat for a week, or an apartment for a month, Airbnb is the easiest way for people to showcase these distinctive spaces to an audience of millions. By facilitating bookings and financial transactions, Airbnb makes the process of listing or booking a space effortless and efficient.
With 50,000 unique listings available in more than 8,000 cities and 166 countries, Airbnb offers the widest variety of unique spaces for everyone, at any price point around the globe.
