Today (21) the Americans will win an astronomical gift for about two minutes. It’s the Great American Eclipse, a total solar eclipse, in which the moon blocks the sun and can be seen in the United States from Oregon to South Carolina.

The last of this type seen in the country was 99 years ago. And now the event is attracting a lot of people. For the good fortune of Airbnb, whose residences are expecting about 50 thousand customers in more than 29 thousand properties, including tourists from 26 different countries.

It is also a great chance for locals in the small towns they are looking for. It is possible to earn extra income by renting your real estate through the platform.

Casper has achieved a 31-fold increase in listed properties compared to 2016. The city in the state of Wyoming is considered one of the best to keep up with the event.

“We’ve never had an event of this magnitude here and we have no idea what to expect and where to host it all,” said Rigby Chamber of Commerce president, a city of about 4,000 in Idaho.

For this and other small towns, Airbnb has become a hosting partner. This weekend is proving to be a great marketing opportunity for Airbnb, which seeks to solidify itself as a cheaper alternative to hotel chains.
