Key Challenges & Opportunities

As Medellin’s Airbnb market continues to grow, both challenges and opportunities emerge for investors and property managers.

Key Challenges

    • Compliance with the National Tourism Registry (RNT) is now a must for hosts.
  2. Market Saturation
    • With nearly 9,000 active listings, competition among Airbnb hosts is growing, making differentiation crucial.
  3. Rising Operational Costs
    • Higher maintenance and management costs for short-term rentals can impact profitability, requiring more efficient property management strategies.

Opportunities
