Since the launch of Airbnb, there have been 1.4 billion guest arrivals, with more people traveling in 2022 than ever before.

According to the report, it’s not surprising that international jet setters are eyeing Mykonos describing the island as “nothing short of spectacular” and attracting visitors thanks to its beaches, parties and fun.

Earlier this month, the home-sharing giant announced the launch of a new product: Airbnb Rooms, as well as more than 50 new features and improvements based on experiences and feedback from Airbnb users and hosts.
