In the state alone, Airbnb helped generate approximately $900 million last year. The report said guest spending supported around 12,000 jobs, $495 million in wages and over $256 million in tax revenue.
Airbnb also said that the average guest in Louisiana spent around $860 on restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and other local businesses on their trip. The report said that the spending benefited communities, especially those without major hotel infrastructure.
According to a news release, Airbnb also backed House Bill 374 during the 2025 legislative session. The bill lets Airbnb and similar short-term rental sites collect and send taxes straight to state and local governments.
“This bill will make it easier for communities across Louisiana to capture the full economic benefits of tourism from short-term rentals,” Airbnb said.
Airbnb said guests contributed $25 billion to total tax revenue across the nation, which includes $2.4 billion from tourism-related taxes.
