Solution

The network effect described in this scenario is an "Indirect network effect."

Indirect network effects occur when the increase in usage of one product or service spurs an increase in the value of a complementary product or service. In the case of Airbnb, as more hosts list their accommodations, the service becomes more valuable for travelers because they have more options to choose from. Conversely, as more travelers use Airbnb, the service becomes more valuable for hosts because they have a larger pool of potential guests.
