Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics about Vacation Rentals — Big Island Edition <br /> Has anybody fact-checked the numbers? In the written testimony for the Windward Planning Commission Hearing on the <br /> TAR Bill 121 on 4/2/2024 you will find the testimony by Stephanie Donoho for Kohala Coast Resort Association with <br /> attached 4 pages of a report from alltherooms.com. <br /> Stephanie Donoho (Registered Lobbyist for Kohala Coast Resort Association) states in her testimony: <br /> Finally. I'm attaching a report from W%%r«•.AlltheRoom s.coin as an addendum to our written testimony, It shows that there <br /> were more than 19,000 units on Hawaii Island advertised through Airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway and similar websites <br /> during the last year. Those units range from studios, to a single bedroom in someone's home,to entire homes with up to <br /> I2 bedrooms. If the average unit had,just 2 bedrooms,that would mean more than 38.000 rooms were advertised on our <br /> island last year. In comparison,the hotels along the Kohala Coast of Hawaii Island(Mauna Kea Beach Hotel,Westin <br /> Hapuna, Waikoloa Brach Marriott, Hilton Waikoloa, Auberge Mauna Lani, Fairmont Orchid,and Four Seasons Hualalai) <br /> have a combined total of 2,915 hotel rooms. <br /> If you take a closer look, it appears the data is unfortunately flawed and misleading. <br /> 1.The report combines listings from Airbnb, Booking.com, Homeaway,VRBO seemingly without deduplication. Most <br /> vacation rentals are listed on several booking sites. <br /> Ma r k e t S selected Marker Boundary <br /> Characteristics <br /> SELECT MARKET* Provider <br /> Hawaii County,Hawaii,United States o_x - (4)airhnh,hooking,...x + <br /> Filters (D <br /> Property Type Instant BO...
