This chapter analyzes the pricing policy of hybrid P2P lodgings versus traditional hotels in relation to seasonality. A quantitative comparative analysis of room prices in Airbnb and hotel lodgings in the city of Barcelona was conducted across four different pairs or dates (peak versus low season) in one year. Overall, the study shows that Airbnb prices are significantly lower than those of hotels and that the former’s prices fluctuate very little, whereas hotels use yield or revenue management techniques to adjust prices in high and low seasons. This implies that relevant purchase behavioral changes may occur in terms of customers waiting until the last minute to book.

A summary statement of the meaning of tourism intelligence is built in this chapter by considering multiple sources. Tourism intelligence is then cast as the sum of the resources available to a decisionmaker coupled with their interpretive ability to use it. Academic researchers can contribute to this resource base but need to deal with the likely use of other inputs by decisionmakers. Tourism intelligence can be a bridge between academic inputs and broader influences provided that concerns about credibility, trustworthiness, and accessibility of the scholarly work are well managed. The tourism intelligence concept has value for all stakeholders and the chapters in this volume follow a structure to assist the transition from analysis to action.
