The average Airbnb or VRBO in Dhaka generates BDT286K per year. High-performing properties earn BDT1.3M/year, while low-performing properties earn BDT79K/year. This wide disparity suggests that market returns are highly sensitive to specific asset positioning, as revenue contraction outpaces the minor reduction in available supply.
Airbnb and VRBO can be profitable in Dhaka. Average annual revenue is BDT286K with 17% occupancy. High-performing properties earn up to BDT1.3M/year.
