Shared accommodation as a form of modern economic relationship changed the shape and patterns of tourism industry. China, which has opened its bounds for incoming and outgoing trips during the last decade, is no exception, but the specific conditions of the country due to cultural, social and economic aspects, transform the general perception of shared accommodation. This paper aims to present the main features and distinctive characteristics of shared accommodation in China, which also provides an assessment and perspective for future developments. To achieve this goal, the current profile of China as a tourist destination is first considered, based on main economic indicators such as incoming and outgoing tourism, economic effects from tourism industry and the investment flows in this sector. Consequently, considering the specific culture, communication and Internet behavior of Chinese people, the current article gives insight look of the specific P2P-platforms for shared accommodation in the country. The P2P-networks are predominantly local based and except accommodation exchange, they offer also wide range of additional services, some of which are designed in favor of the hosts. Shared accommodation has a good perspective for future development but the current legal framework is not effectively applied. As a conclusion, the main obstacles for future growth of shared accommodation in China are proposed, which outlines the necessary actions to be taken in terms of the successful implementation of P2P-platfroms and shared accommodation on Chinese market.
