Montgo- mery led the state in occupancy rate for the past few years even as new hotels were added, and the number of hotel guests is still growing. Through Septem- ber, there have been 77,000 more nights booked than during the same period last year, according to the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce. The city is trending up 10,000 room nights per month and should maintain that pace through at least November, the Chamber said.

One reason for that growth is the Na- tional Memorial for Peace and Justice, also known as the lynching memorial. Opened in conjunction with the nearby Legacy Museum, the memorial in Cottage Hill neighborhood is with hanging columns etched with the names of people who were lynched between 1877 and 1950. It had a star-studded debut April 27 and made headlines around the world. By August, it had drawn more than 100,000 visitors and other historic sites were seeing their numbers rise. For in- stance, the nearby Rosa Parks Library and Museum saw 11,000 more visitors in the eight months of 2018.

Powell said an opportunity for more of that in Montgomery, that launching Airbnbs at more historic sites could bring more money and tourism to some forgotten areas of the city. Meanwhile, she said the Airbnb sites are hoping to keep the momentum going by referring guests to each other.

Bell expect all of this to take so quickly when she decided to convert a guest space in her retirement house to an Airbnb. She knew the EJI project was on the way, nothing happens fast she laughed. A year later, her place is booming and she has people in the neighborhood asking her for advice about setting up their own. an interest in more Airbnbs in Montgomery, and in this area, as a matter of Bell said.
