Abstract: Abstract As a pioneer in the peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation industry, Airbnb has driven structural transformation in the traditional hotel industry through its disruptive business model, leveraging the global spread of the sharing economy. However, systematic analyses of its innovative model and related impacts in related research still await supplementation. This article explores Airbnb’s innovative model, core challenges and future development direction through literature review, case analysis and data mining. The research finds that with the continuous development of the sharing economy and the constant changes in consumer demands, Airbnb’s innovative development is mainly reflected in its disruption of traditional industries, the success of the C2C model, and the design of the trust mechanism. However, it faces challenges such as compliance disputes over policies in various regions, cultural differences, industry competition, internal governance, and difficulties in localization. Looking ahead, Airbnb can promote the sustainable development of the industry by improving its technology, learning from others’ experiences, expanding medium- and long-term rental business, and cooperating with traditional hotels.
