The upcoming solar eclipse on April 8 is causing a significant Airbnb boom across the United States, particularly in areas within the path of totality, where Airbnb and hotel bookings are nearing full capacity. Travelers eager to witness the rare celestial event have led to sold-out hotel bookings and nearly complete occupancy of short-term rentals. Data from Airbnb and AirDNA highlights that cities along the eclipse's path are experiencing unprecedented demand, with occupancy rates expected to exceed 92% on April 7, the night before the eclipse. This phenomenon has also resulted in a noticeable increase in pricing and demand for accommodations, outpacing previous records such as the 83.7% occupancy level seen last Memorial Day. The eclipse has not only captivated the interest of Americans but has also provided a significant boost to the travel industry, marking a unique intersection of science and tourism.
Occupancies for short-term listings in the eclipse path are expected to top 92% on Sunday, April 7th. To put that into context, the next highest occupancy level was 83.7% last Memorial Day. https://t.co/LzEXBgIfz9
