N2 - Drawing on the network sociality concept, this article investigates network relationality principles relating to shareable tourism experiences through peer-to-peer platforms. The methodology is based on a case study approach, using qualitative research tools. Four key principles of network relationality emerge from the findings: temporary belongingness, a priori empathy, technology as bridge to face-to-face interactions, and relational spaces. More than mere social interaction, network relationality focuses on the intensity of temporary relationships which shape the tourist experience beyond accommodation services.
