Airbnb Says Big Events Are Driving Sustained Growth -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04:09

1609 ET - Airbnb says big events are an increasingly important part of its business strategy. The Milan Cortina Olympics boosted supply in host markets by roughly 30%. The World Cup is expected to be Airbnb's biggest-ever event, with more than 100,000 new homes added to its platform. Many of the hosts who join during big events remain as hosts long after the events, Airbnb says. They also strengthen relationships between the company and individual markets. "Beyond the numbers, big events strengthen our relationships with cities and governments that need flexible, distributed ways to host millions of visitors," Airbnb says.
