摘要

This aims to compare the intrinsic motivations of the hosts of the online travel communities Airbnb and CouchSurfing in the district of Miraflores–Lima, Peru, from the perspective of millennial guests. Through a qualitative approach, it was using Atlas. ti software analyzed 516 comments. They were identified to identify three main intrinsic motivations of the host: Social Interaction, Altruism (being the most relevant in both Airbnb and CouchSurfing), and Cultural Capital (with greater importance for CouchSurfing). Comparing intrinsic host motivations is key to understanding how to attract new hosts and potential and encourage current guests to change roles and become hosts. In this way, the sustainability of the economic well-being and growth of shared accommodations promoted through the Internet is enhanced, as the balance between hosts and guests can be maintained, which is critical for the community’s survival.
