But how much extra are we spending in comparison to those who travel to the same destinations on any given day?

This year’s edition of Ultra Miami has caused a 19.1% surge, increasing the average Airbnb price from $456 to $543. However, Ultra surprisingly ranks 18th in a total overall increase in comparison to other major fests. Hardwell perfo...
