The current global tourism environment caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 is deeply disrupted. The movement of tourists to different world destinations has been stopped, and the entire tourism industry has come to a standstill, in particular the accommodation sector, both commercial and non-commercial. Hotels are closed until further notice, and private accommodations are prohibited from receiving tourists. In this unprecedented situation, it is interesting to focus on the case of Airbnb, the most important platform used by tourists to rent furnished properties in the world. The stakes raised by this global tourist stagnation are not without effect on the American multinational, nor on hosts, on whom Airbnb relied to found its economic model and mode of operation. Whether at the corporate or rental level, various strategies have been put in place to best adapt to the consequences of the non-deployment of tourist accommodations. In this article, we analyze the countermeasures deployed either on a global scale or that of the hosts to overcome the effects of such a health crisis on tourist practices, and the degree of reactivity of said actors, each at their own level. Regarding the effects of the crisis on rental companies and their strategies at the local level, remote interviews, during confinement, were conducted with approximately twenty hosts in Bordeaux, France. The city does indeed concentrate a very large number of Airbnb rental offers, in a country considered to be the second largest market in the world for that company after the United States.
