Airbnb is offering a £50 travel voucher to Liverpool households that host their first guest in a private room during the Eurovision Song Contest from 9-13 May 2018. Data from Airbnb shows that international interest in Liverpool has increased since it was announced as the host city, with searches for the city on the platform 20 times higher than the previous year between October and December 2017, and the highest ever recorded search volume on the day of the announcement. The UK government’s Tourism Recovery Plan has highlighted “special moments” as major drivers of tourism.
