Peer-to-Peer Accommodations in Rural Communities
Abstract (150 Words)
It is unclear what motivates P2PA hosts to engage in hospitality, much less how P2PAs can contribute to diversifying and sustaining rural non-farm economy. Developing a better understanding of the functionality of P2PAs in rural community development is a pathway to building rural community resilience to many changes that it faces (e.g., out-migration, conversion of organic to technology crops) (Battino & Lampreu, 2019; Bevk et al., 2020; Li et al., 2019). Therefore, this study investigates whether residents of rural tourism destinations perceive the disruptive impacts of P2PAs in their communities.
