Let's change tourism - one booking at a time

Cooperation and consensus are at the heart of our model. We are on a journey to become a home for all those who want to participate and grow this model of solidarity and participatory economy: hosts, guests, local business owners, neighbours are all welcome.

Fairbnb.coop started its journey in 2016 as a movement seeking to create a just alternative to existing home-sharing platforms.Initially the movement emerged in Venice, Amsterdam and Bologna but soon other groups from all over Europe joined the debate and helped us in shaping our final business model.

Our first original Manifesto is still with us to guide us through this amazing journey.

At the end of 2018 we founded Fair Bnb Network società cooperativa, a workers cooperative, an open organization in which to welcome all the players involved in the growth of our sustainable tourism model. We are incorporated in Bologna, Italy but our ideas know no borders.

Like many other people and organizations, we started 2020 with clear goals and big dreams… but with the global pandemic hitting the tourism industry we quickly had to adapt to the new circumstances. Nevertheless, we seized the moment to work on improving our platform, open new destinations, expand our network of cooperators and get new investors on board.

Our current goal is to convert our coop to a multi stakeholder coop ASAP.

In June we released a new version of the fairbnb.coop platform, with many innovative features both for Hosts and Guests. Many cities have joined us, as well as naturalistic holiday resorts, entire regions and countries. Thanks to the activation of our scattered hosts, the opportunities for organizing fair holidays are steadily growing.
