Market desk
Top Pakistani Airbnb markets are concentrated around Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore.
The dataset uses current public AirROI market figures updated in May 2026 and an Airbtics Lahore cross check updated in March 2026. Because Airbnb does not publish a full official Pakistan raw listing file, the dashboard shows the source date and treats the figures as a market intelligence snapshot rather than guaranteed booking records.
