Here at High-Yield Tourism (HYT), we argue for HYT to be a long-term strategy to build balance, resilience and durability in tourism economies.
However, we are very aware of the negative connotations that can be attached to the term – particularly at this time of year when anti-tourism protests are spreading globally.
"The rapid growth of platforms like Airbnb has enabled property owners to convert once-affordable housing into high-yield tourist accommodations. This trend has turned areas like Condesa, Roma, and Coyoacán into lucrative real estate markets for short-term rentals, pushing long-time residents further from the city’s core. Many landlords now prefer short-stay profits over stable, long-term tenants - exacerbating the housing crunch and pricing out local families."
These issues are cross-cutting and complex – BUT are becoming ever-more hyper-charged, entrenched and polarising.
