Airbnb Regional Director for EMEA Emmanuel Marill was scheduled to present to members of the European Committee of the Regions and meet with the European Parliament Cultural Heritage Intergroup to champion the benefits of heritage travel for tourism dispersal in Europe. There are approximately 45,000 listings in the historical homes category, and just under 70 percent of European historic homes on Airbnb are located in non-urban areas, helping to disperse the benefits of tourism to rural and lesser visited destinations. "Heritage travel can play a vital role in helping to disperse tourism outside of city centers and spread the benefits of tourism to more rural areas, all whilst helping to preserve historic homes for generations to come," said Marill.
