Abstract

This article analyzes the role of inclusive tourism by increasing Airbnb’s entry into the international tourism industry. The article provides information on how Airbnb has facilitated cross-cultural exchange in the international travel industry, created economic opportunities and increased access for people from different social segments. The article evaluates the impact of Airbnb on the tourism industry based on data from 2021 to 2023, highlights the shortcomings in the development of inclusive tourism, which is considered a new direction. The analysis shows that while Airbnb has created economic and cultural opportunities, new destinations, and diversified travel experiences, there are significant challenges related to politics, laws, and rising real estate prices. The above reasons require regular cooperation and support of Airbnb between the government and the political community.
