Travelers in France are increasingly seeking unique and authentic experiences, leading to a rise in demand for vacation rentals over traditional hotels. Customers value the flexibility, privacy, and local charm that vacation rentals offer, allowing them to immerse themselves in the culture and lifestyle of the region they are visiting.

One notable trend in the French vacation rental market is the growing popularity of rural and countryside properties. Tourists are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and are opting for peaceful retreats in picturesque locations. This trend is driven by a desire for tranquility and a closer connection to nature. Another trend shaping the vacation rental market in France is the increasing focus on sustainability and eco-friendliness. Travelers are becoming more conscious of their environmental impact and are actively seeking accommodations that are eco-friendly and support sustainable practices. This trend has led to the emergence of eco-friendly vacation rentals and off-the-grid properties in France.

Local special circumstances:
France's diverse landscape and rich cultural heritage make it a highly attractive destination for vacation rentals. From charming cottages in the countryside to chic apartments in bustling cities like Paris and Lyon, the variety of rental options caters to a wide range of preferences and budgets. Additionally, France's strong culinary tradition and world-renowned wine regions further enhance its appeal to travelers seeking a unique and immersive experience.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The steady growth of the tourism industry in France, coupled with increasing disposable incomes and a growing preference for experiential travel, has contributed to the expansion of the vacation rental market. Additionally, the rise of online platforms and digital booking services has made it easier for property owners to list their rentals and for travelers to find and book accommodations, fueling further growth in the market.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on bookings, revenues, and sales channels of vacation rentals.

Modeling approach:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use financial reports, the Global Consumer Survey, third-party studies and reports, data from industry associations (e.g., UNWTO), and price data of major players in respective markets. To estimate the number of users and bookings, we furthermore use data from the Statista Consumer Insigths Global survey. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as country-related GDP, demographic data (e.g., population), tourism spending, consumer spending, internet penetration, and device penetration. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, ARIMA, which allows time series forecasts, accounting for stationarity of data and enabling short-term estimates. Additionally, simple linear regression, Holt-Winters forecast, and exponential trend smoothing methods are applied. A k-means cluster analysis allows for the estimation of similar countries. The main drivers are tourism GDP per capita and respective price indices.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change.
