The \u2018Ber-months are finally here and for many, the holiday season couldn\u2019t have come any sooner! With Christmas in the air, Filipinos are turning to hosting to fund their next holiday getaway.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent survey of Airbnb\u2019s Host community,\u00a0over 25 percent of Filipino Hosts use the money they earn from hosting to go on vacation. Almost a quarter share their space with guests while traveling for vacation or work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airbnb Hosts enjoy the perks of being hosted<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an Airbnb Host of more than five years and one of the country\u2019s most highly rated Superhosts, Emily Avelino shares that since listing her family\u2019s Cabin in the Clouds<\/a> and Blackbird Hill Home<\/a> in Tanay, Rizal, they have been able to save up for overseas trips to visit family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRecently, we were able to visit immediate family in the USA, which we had not been able to do in the past few years. Hosting our properties on Airbnb also allowed us to save up and travel abroad, and share many memorable milestones with the family including road trips, birthdays and long-awaited reunions,\u201d Emily recounted. For her, getting the chance to spend time and create memories with loved ones has been her biggest plus from hosting aside from the additional financial empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dwyane Yra Dinglasan, who oversees her family\u2019s Nasugbu Tali Vacation Home<\/a>, is another popular Airbnb Host and one of Airbnb\u2019s top hosts under 30 in APAC<\/a>. She too has enjoyed the many benefits of Hosting, including discovering the Philippines\u2019 very own must-see travel spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the additional income from my Airbnb listing, I now have the opportunity to travel and visit new places in the Philippines \u2014 places I would not have been able to go without the extra income. It\u2019s a great opportunity to get to experience new things,\u201d\u00a0Dwayne shared.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s always great to stay in extremely beautiful homes when vacationing in the Philippines, and to get to live different lifestyles is very refreshing. These experiences along with being able to make new friends and meet new people are definitely memorable!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like Dwayne, many more Filipinos are also finding new local destinations that are off-the-beaten-path but nonetheless equally exquisite. According to Airbnb data,  over 60 cities and towns in the Philippines received their first-ever Airbnb bookings since March 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
