In the Italian city of Venice, the number of beds dedicated to tourists is now almost on par with the number of beds allocated to residents. An electronic counter installed by activists in the city tracking this number illustrates the ever-growing demand for short-term rentals, popularized by the home-sharing platform Airbnb, which is now as popular as hotels.
