| − | A key factor that has contributed significantly to the tourism industry is the rise of the sharing economy. According to UNWTO (2017), the sharing economy is “the sharing of access to goods and services from peer-to-peer / private-to-private coordinated through community-based online services”. Despite having a business model that deviates from the conventional hospitality business strategy, Airbnb, a platform which allows peer-to-peer hosting and rental of private homes, has become a significant player in the hospitality industry.

| − | However, we understand that there are various social and environmental implications that comes with the growing global hospitality business. Prior researches have shown that there is a relationship between crime and public disorder, and tourism[3], and tourists are often the victims of these crimes.[4]

| − |
| |
| − | Therefore, this project aims to create a visualisation of the spatial relationship between crime and hospitality, and to delve deeper into understanding the difference in the relationship between crime and the conventional hospitality business – Hotels and Hostels, and between crime and Airbnb. Additionally, this project will drill down into visualizing the different types of crimes that are most spatially related to the different categories of hospitality business.
