I'm not sure how they come back from this.
People will return to travel, and some may prefer apartment-style accommodations over a crowded hotel.
There is also a lot of investment in the ecosystem on the part of landlords; some will fail but others will want to return to the airbnb model. In some cases have no choice -- a ski or beach condo isn't going to easily find long-term tenants.
- kaesar14 7y agoI don't doubt that the market for travel and accommodations will return. What I doubt is whether Airbnb can weather the crisis without meeting financial ruin, and whether they can continue to fight the legal battles around the world they need to win to survive.
- dpflan 7y agoAdditionally, I would think that AirBnB hosts will begin to consider local, longer term renters rather than keeping housing-stock out of the longer term market in order to extract more from the short-term market.
- dorchadas 7y agoWith the possibility of moving to a city where housing options have been decimated by AirBnB, I really hope this happens.
- netsharc 7y agoGotta act soon, IMO. https://euobserver.com/coronavirus/148035 https://euobserver.com/coronavirus/148035 Hopefully the local authorities don't forget this and can use this as evidence against Airbnb-motivated leeches, after the crisis.
