Suriname, with its rich cultural heritage and stunning natural landscapes, has become an increasingly popular destination for travelers seeking unique experiences. The rise of short-term rentals, commonly known as vakantiewoningen or tijdelijke verhuur, has significantly impacted the tourism sector, providing visitors with more personalized lodging options in popular destinations like Paramaribo, Brownsberg Nature Park, and Galibi Nature Reserve.

In 2023, the government of Suriname generated substantial income from short-term rental activities, reflecting the sector's growing importance to the national economy. These accommodations are primarily listed on popular platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com, making it easier for tourists to discover and enjoy the diverse beauty of Suriname.
