Abstract: In recent years, the expansion of digital accommodation platforms such as Airbnb has profoundly transformed the tourism and housing dynamics of heritage cities. In Oaxaca de Juárez, this growth has generated tensions between the economic innovation represented by the collaborative economy and the social effects derived from touristification, rising housing prices, and competition with the formal hotel sector. These transformations raise questions about Airbnb’s real impact on the local tourism structure, urban configuration, and women’s participation in the sector’s economic activity. The research adopts a quantitative, descriptive–comparative approach based on secondary sources: active Airbnb listings (June 2025) and official records of the hotel infrastructure of Oaxaca de Juárez. The analysis focused on the number of units, guest capacity, and accommodation typologies, interpreting the indicators in light of specialized literature. The results show that, by 2023, Airbnb offered approximately 4,800 active listings, a figure comparable to the 7,183 hotel rooms available locally. Roughly half of the listings correspond to entire homes and the other half to private rooms, yielding a lodging capacity equivalent to the total number of hotel beds. From a gender perspective, around 50% of Airbnb hosts in Mexico are women, while in the conventional tourism sector their participation ranges between 49% and 54% of the workforce. In summary, Airbnb has diversified and decentralized the tourism supply, but it has also intensified processes of gentrification and urban inequality. The main objective of the study is to quantitatively compare Airbnb’s lodging offer with the traditional hotel sector in Oaxaca de Juárez, analyzing its territorial and gender-related implications.
