Airbnb has announced a new incentive for first‑time hosts in Boulder during the Sundance Film Festival. The company will offer a reduced commission rate for properties listed for the event, aiming to ease the lodging shortage that has plagued the city’s inaugural festival.
The move comes as Boulder prepares to welcome a large influx of visitors for the film festival, which has struggled to secure enough accommodation. The initiative is intended to encourage more residents to open their homes to travelers, helping to meet demand during the busy period.
