Method and sources

Dates

Dates were read by hand on the official page listed for each one: school calendars published by the competent education authority, and event dates published by the organiser on its own website. No date comes from a listings site, a travel blog or a news article. When the organiser's site did not show the next edition, we left the date out rather than guess it. Dates were read when this edition of the site was built; organisers and authorities can change them, so the source is always the reference.

Demand curves

For London, Dublin and Brussels, the curves show how guest reviews left on active entire-home listings are spread across the twelve months, over the 24 complete months before the data was collected. A review is left after a stay, so the share of reviews per month is used as a proxy for the share of stays per month. It is a measure of when people stay, not of prices or of occupancy. An even year would put about 8.3% of stays in each month.

Pricing guides

The guides describe a method, not figures: they contain no invented percentages or results. Any number you use should come from your own booking history and from the listings you compete with.
