Hosting on Airbnb during events, both local and international, can create incredible earning opportunities for Hosts. In 2022, Irish Hosts collectively earned over €3.2 million during the St. Patrick’s celebrations, with the typical Host earning just over €400 for the week3. This comes at a time of rising living costs, with the additional earnings helping many stay afloat during these tough economic times.

For those interested in sharing their home with guests this St. Patrick’s Day, Airbnb has made it easier than ever to get started. As part of the 2022 Winter Release, Airbnb introduced Airbnb Setup – an all-new, super easy way to list your home, including free one-to-one guidance from a Superhost and for your first booking, you can choose to welcome an experienced guest who has at least three stays and a good track record on Airbnb. We’ve also expanded AirCover, now featuring even more top-to-bottom protection, with guest identity verification, reservation screening, and $3 million damage protection, including coverage for cars, boats, art and valuables.

Anyone can visit airbnb.com/host to learn including how much you could potentially earn.
