"2024 Solar Eclipse: Impact on Tourism and Traffic"

Americans traveling to areas near the path of totality for Monday's solar eclipse have caused short-term rental occupancy rates to surge to about 88%, with over 110,000 listings active along the eclipse's path. Big cities and small towns alike have seen a boom in bookings, with some cities experiencing occupancy rates exceeding 90%. AirDNA's report showed a demand surge of 207.4% from a year ago within the path of totality, indicating the high value that guests place on the eclipse experience and the potential for short-term rental owners to capitalize on future events through dynamic pricing strategies.
