Abstract
The article discusses the role of sharing economy in hospitality and tourism sector. The paper argues that sharing economy business models are perceived as sustaining innovations at the time of their emergence. To date they demonstrate the features of disruptive innovations, exerting a growing and ambiguous influence on all key elements of tourism industry structure. The example of Greece discussed in the article shows the opportunities and threats for new business models in hospitality and tourism, as well as the need for existing market players to adapt to new conditions and to improve legal framework and mechanisms for their implementation. All these will help to mitigate possible negative effects of sharing economy development and to create conditions for realizing the benefits of sharing economy for business, government and society.
