In late 2019, a new coronavirus strain was identified as the cause of a massive outbreak that originated in China. The coronaviruses are a family of viruses that have the potential to cause illnesses as simple as the common cold and as dangerous as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2020). This resulted in a worldwide pandemic that had significantly reduced travel between countries and even within cities. The short term rental industry has taken a huge financial loss as a result because travelling has been limited. In this study we use GIS to perform an analysis on the virus’s effect on the short-term rental industry in Vancouver specifically. We concentrated on the rental platform Airbnb as its the most commonly used sites for short-term rental purposes. We found some general patterns of changes in the available listings between October 2019 and April 2020. Through a hotspot analysis, we visualize densities of Airbnb listings. We found that the Kerrisdale, Kitsilano and West Point Grey  neighborhood had a higher drop in listings compared to other areas. Downtown stands out as a major hotspot while Strathcona is the coldest spot in Vancouver. The limitations we had encountered parallel to the study did not impact our results in a meaningful way due to the nature of the analysis being an exploratory one. Where the main goal was to find patterns of general changes.
