Searches Don't Lie: Travel Demand Soars Ahead of Colombian Pop Queen’s U.S. Tour

Searches for Airbnb stays surged over 200% in some concert cities. Women lead the travel wave, accounting for more than 60% of bookings in certain cities.

MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, May 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As global the Colombian pop sensation prepares for her blockbuster U.S. stadium tour this summer, Airbnb is seeing an undeniable surge in travel interest. With concerts kicking off mid-May, fans are already locking in their stays, causing triple-digit spikes in searches and reshaping travel trends across North America.

After switching from arenas to stadiums due to overwhelming demand, the Colombian super star tour is now driving a tourism boom. Cities set to host her shows are experiencing massive jumps in travel demand. The top five cities with the highest increases in Airbnb searches are:
- Charlotte, NC
- Arlington, TX
- Detroit, MI
- Los Angeles, CA
- San Antonio, TX

This surge in travel demand is expected to bring meaningful economic benefits to host cities, building on a trend seen in recent years. In 2023, concert tours by the summer’s biggest stars helped contribute to over $100 million in host earnings globally on Airbnb. During concert dates in key cities, host earnings jumped by 38% compared to the same period in 2022.

The economic impact extends beyond hosts, with hundreds of thousands of guest arrivals supporting local businesses such as restaurants and shops. According to a 2024 survey of Airbnb guests in the U.S., visitors spent an average of $205 per guest per day on local restaurants, groceries, and attractions. What’s more, Airbnb Hosts help ensure more neighborhoods benefit from this influx of guest spending: guests reported that about 40% of their total spending occurred in the neighborhood of their Airbnb listing in 2024.

WOMEN TRAVELERS DOMINATE BOOKINGS

- San Antonio, TX – Nearly 75%
- Miami, FL – Over 70%
