ABSTRACT Internet platforms, enabling short-term rental of private houses, are an increasingly important provider of tourist accommodation. The largest peer-to-peer accommodation platform is Airbnb. To date, most geographical studies on Airbnb investigated spatial patterns and effects of platform activity on large cities. This study attempts to expand the understanding of the role of Airbnb in various types of urban and non-urban tourism destinations. It employs Tourism Area Life Cycle model to investigate the differences in the quantity of peer-to-peer accommodation in destinations in various stages of their life cycles. Five Nordic countries are used as the study setting. A database of 61 thousand active non-hotel Airbnb listings is compared with statistical data obtained from national statistical institutions on regional (74 NUTS-3 regions) geographical scale. The results show that peer-to-peer rental supply and use is concentrated in destinations characterised by the quick increase in the number of tourist visits.

目标生命周期中的点对点住宿：北欧国家

能够短期出租私人房屋的抽象互联网平台，已成为越来越重要的旅游住宿提供商。最大的点对点住宿平台是Airbnb。迄今为止，大多数关于Airbnb的地理研究都调查了空间模式和平台活动对大城市的影响。这项研究试图扩大人们对Airbnb在各种类型的城市和非城市旅游目的地中的作用的了解。它使用旅游区生命周期模型来研究目的地在其生命周期的各个阶段中对等住宿数量的差异。五个北欧国家被用作学习环境。将61000个活跃的非酒店Airbnb列表数据库与从国家统计机构获得的区域（74个NUTS-3区域）地理规模的统计数据进行比较。结果表明，点对点的租金供应和使用集中在以游客数量快速增加为特征的目的地。
