Tourism Fernie 2025 Annual Report
Key Data AirBnB & VRBO Report Highlights – Short Term Rentals Data
Information from Key Data helps us understand the short-term rental market locally. Key Data‘ scrapes’ data from AirBnB and VRBO websites. It is a bit less accurate than previous page CoStar / STAR Report source, but covers STRs which the STAR Report does not. An important observation between the two data sources is that CoStar data comes primarily from hotel rooms( small units with lower room rates), whereas Key Data comes primarily from larger units with higher rates( condos, townhomes, private homes and suites).
It should be noted that Key Data reports on a majority of the vacation rentals in Fernie which, like mentioned on the previous page, account for approximately 700 units of the 1,300 units available in the Fernie area. Only a small portion of the 700 units are STRs within residential homes or areas( approx. 130 units) in Fernie.
