Prospects for the Development of Shared Tourism Accommodation in China: From Space Sharing to Culture Sharing—Taking Airbnb Beijing as an Example

Abstract

The year 2018 is of great importance to China's sharing economy. After several years' rapid development, China's sharing economy market is being adjusted and differentiated. The tourism industry represented by shared accommodation has been leaping forward, gaining increasingly rising market share and customer recognition. From the perspective of cultural geography theory, this paper deconstructs the culture sharing connotation of shared accommodation, and analyzes the “Minsu space” based on scale nesting and “local” shared accommodation culture sharing system. In addition, taking the development of Airbnb Beijing as an example and in combination with the big data analysis, this paper also outlines the development path of shared accommodation, and outlooks the development trend of shared tourism accommodation, so as to benefit the development of related industries.
