Lesotho, known for its stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage, has seen a significant rise in self-catering accommodations and holiday rentals, particularly in popular destinations such as Maseru, Semonkong, and the Maluti Mountains. These short-term rentals have become a vital part of the tourism industry, providing travelers with unique and affordable lodging options. In 2023, the impact of this growing sector was evident as the government generated substantial income from taxes and fees associated with these rentals, further boosting the local economy. Platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com have become the go-to choices for listing accommodations in Lesotho, connecting hosts with a global audience and contributing to the country’s thriving tourism sector.
