Airbnb searches for stays in and around Coachella have doubled compared to last year's dates.
Why it matters: Music festival season could give the tourism industry a bigger boost this year.
What they're saying: "The rise of 'event-cations' highlights a deeper connection to the arts, music, and culture, as travelers seek out unique experiences that resonate with their passions," Airbnb's Ali Killam told Axios. "In doing so, Airbnb guests are also supporting local hosts and businesses, driving positive economic impact in the communities hosting these events."
By the numbers: Searches for Airbnb stays in Indio, Cathedral City and La Quita surged more than 80%.
- More than two-thirds of people who have booked stays are millennials or Gen-Z.
- Over 70% of all nights booked in cities surrounding the festival groups are for group travel.
