The coming travel revival hit another new milestone recently, with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issuing new guidance saying fully vaccinated people can travel safely domestically.

As guests look to safely heed that advice and shake the quarantine dust off their boots this spring and summer, Airbnb Hosts are also gearing up for the upcoming demand. For those still considering hosting and catching this travel wave, the time to jump in the water is now.

Illustrative of the current demand for travel, New Airbnb Hosts in a number of US markets are getting their first bookings in as little as seven days. The top 10 US destinations seeing the most bookings in the first seven days for new Hosts include:

  • Atlanta
  • Miami
  • Phoenix
  • Nashville
  • Houston
  • Los Angeles
  • North Carolina Mountains region
  • South Florida Atlantic Coast region
  • Seattle
  • Denver

Becoming a Host is a big decision, but Airbnb is here to help guide you through the process and help you join other new Hosts in quickly getting bookings. Below are a list of resources for those considering Hosting on Airbnb:
