Abstract

We are have been studying in Monteverde since january living with host families, and this experience has been great in allowing us to better connect with the community. Our research is continuation of research was start last year on topic that many in Monteverde have been interesting. For alot of us this project has uncovered many important aspects of Airbnb. Intitially i thought the platform was cheaper alot alternative when traveling that was also good way to make money, but it’s so much more. This presentation will be about 75 minutes followed by questions and a break at 10:15.
