All Tanzania Short-Term Rental Markets
Every market below links to its full BNBCalc market page. Non-US country rankings use annual revenue first because gross yield requires property value metadata that is currently US-only.
Average active listings is the average number of Airbnb and Vrbo listings active in a market each month over the last 12 months, the same figure you'll see on that market's page. Annual revenue is total market revenue over the last 12 months divided by that average, and it already includes cleaning fees.
Outside the US, BNBCalc ranks country market pages by average annual revenue until property-value coverage is available for international gross yield. Annual revenue is useful for identifying demand and pricing power, but investors should still review acquisition cost, taxes, seasonality, regulations, and operating expenses before comparing returns.
