Economic Impact studies, conducted by Airbnb themselves, have attempted to show the public that Airbnb is a good thing for communities and the world. And it’s working. In a study conducted in 2012 by Airbnb, it was shown that Airbnb generated 56 million dollars in added local spending and creates approximately 430 jobs in San Francisco alone.
