Kiribati, a remote paradise in the Pacific Ocean, is becoming an increasingly popular destination for travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path experience. With its stunning atolls, such as Tarawa and Kiritimati, the demand for short-term accommodations has surged, offering visitors an authentic taste of island life. In 2023, the short-term rental (STR) sector in Kiribati significantly impacted the local economy, contributing substantial income to the government. This rise in popularity is largely driven by listings on platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com, where a diverse range of unique accommodations can be found. As Kiribati continues to attract more visitors, the STR industry is poised to play an even more vital role in the country’s tourism landscape.
