Alongside both long-term and short-term residential and event space rentals, Airbnb users may also now see the entire country of Sweden listed on the online marketplace and hospitality service.
'Sweden on Airbnb' is being launched in an effort to boost tourism in the region, guided by the principle of "Allemansrätten," or "the freedom to roam." As Sweden on Airbnb describes, "Swedish nature isn’t just a piece of land with trees and lakes and cliffs – it’s a home with all the necessities and amenities that any great home should have... To make this home available for everyone, Sweden has listed the entire country on Airbnb."
Some of the destinations that are spotlighted on Sweden's Airbnb page include rustic forest retreats, rocky island visits and beautiful forest glades.
