Abstract

The rapid growth of peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation renting platforms has exacerbated perceptions of over-tourism and other issues among relevant stakeholders, many of which are geographically dispersed and difficult to identify, creating a special challenge to initiate stakeholder collaboration. This article uses frame analysis method to identify stakeholders and collaboration conveners, and their main issue-frames (diagnostic, prognostic and motivational). The fast-growing Airbnb sharing economy operation in China was studied. Practical findings included: First, this study simplified the complex public debate around Airbnb by identifying six main frames and twenty sub-frames through a systematic assessment of 158 news coverage items. Second, nine stakeholders involved in peer-to-peer online platform ecosystems were also identified: platform operator, competitor, media, resident, government, specialist, consumer, partner and provider.
