Economía colaborativa en el sector alojativo: El impacto de Airbnb en Gandía

Abstract

In this context, the so-called collaborative economy was born as a more sustainable economy, where the access to goods and services shifts the private property of them. The accommodation sector hasn't been indifferent to this new tendency of collaborative consumption. Therefore, this work's object of study is focused on checking, through different tools, its impact in Gandia city.

Keywords: sharing economy, accommodation sector, collaborative consumption, Gandia.

[ES] Las numerosas crisis económicas acontecidas, y en especial la financiera de 2007-2008, no han hecho nada más que evidenciar la insostenibilidad del sistema capitalista consumista que impera en la actualidad. En este contexto surge la llamada economía colaborativa, una economía más sostenible, donde el acceso a los bienes y servicios desplaza a la propiedad privada de los mismos. El sector alojativo no ha sido indiferente ante estos nuevos patrones de consumo colaborativo. Es por ello, que el objeto de estudio de este trabajo se encuentra enfocado en comprobar, mediante diferentes herramientas, su impacto en la ciudad de Gandía.
