Some travel companies have been reporting signs of a slowdown. But recent data – from AAA, the TSA and now, short-term rental bookings – suggest a strong holiday weekend.
There has been a surge in bookings for short-term rentals this Labor Day weekend.
Over 2.4 million nights have been booked on short-term rental platforms for the four-day period ending on September 1, up 13% from last year, according to AirDNA. In 2023, bookings for Labor Day weekend were up only 2.4%.
Short-term rental room rates are also up for Labor Day.
