Glasgow named among world's most popular destinations for long term Airbnb stays

Glasgow has been named among the most popular destinations for long-term stays by Airbnb.

The list, which features locations locally and abroad, has been published by Airbnb along with the cities they consider to be the trending international destinations for the summer.

Scotland's biggest city features in good company along with Lisbon, Dubai, Cape Town, Los Angeles and Seoul - alongside fellow UK cities Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool.

The cities which feature in the list are those where Airbnb believe digital nomads, whether freelance or otherwise, seem to be taking advantage of the ability to work remotely.

The research comes as more and more people embrace the flexibility to live and work anywhere - evidenced by the fact that nearly half of nights booked globally on Airbnb in the first quarter of 2022 for stays of a week or longer.

Airbnb reports that since 2019, there has been a 33 per cent rise in the number of stays exceeding 28 days, while around one in five Airbnb guests reported using the property rental service to work remotely while travelling in 2021.
