Short-term accom­mo­da­tion ren­tals pro­vi­ded via Airbnb had a major impact on urban tourism across Euro­pe. Cities reac­ted to the chal­len­ges rela­ted to Airbnb in vario­us ways, pur­su­ing a wide ran­ge of regu­la­to­ry stra­te­gies betwe­en lais­ses-faire and almost full ban poli­cies. The aim of this paper is to exa­mi­ne the attri­bu­tes rela­ted to the pro­fes­sio­na­li­za­tion of Airbnb in 12 major EU cities, and eva­lu­ate the role of local regu­la­tions. The results sug­gest that cities with a libe­ral appro­ach are cha­rac­te­ri­zed by rela­ti­ve­ly lar­ger and more pro­fes­sio­na­li­zed Airbnb sup­ply com­pa­red to loca­tions with a tigh­ter regu­la­to­ry strategy.
