Description Also thanks to pandemic, the sharing economy has recently gained more and more space. The use of the digital platforms that are part of it are present in various market segments. The aim of the article is to find out the involvement of business entities operating in catering and accommodation services in the sharing economy on the basis of a questionnaire survey. At the same time, we tried to identify the positive and negative aspects of the sharing economy from the perspective of individual business entities. We also evaluated the view of these business entities on the use of Internet portal services (eg Bolt food, Wolt, Bistro, Booking, Trivago, etc.) during the pandemic period. The research, which took place in the time period January - February 2022, involved 85 business entities operating in catering and accommodation services from regional cities in Slovakia. The questionnaire survey showed that accommodation and catering facilities in regional cities perceive more positives of the sharing economy than negatives. Of the positives, they perceived the increase in ordes the most, the biggest negative was the increase in competition. The vast majority of businesses have been helped by Internet portals to mitigate the negative effects during the Covid - 19 pandemic.
