This doesnt seem to be controversial. And TBH i believe the airbnb-airlines-instagram tourism boom party is over. Post covid, with rising unemployment, remote work, and relocation to more livable places, people aren't going to be chasing cheap flights for more selfies.
- MrPowers 6y agoI'm not sure the tourism boom is over. Addressing your specific points: * rising unemployment - overall employment is falling, but most digital nomad jobs haven't been impacted * remote work - this makes it easier to digital nomad (e.g. a NYC dweller that travels for the winter) * relocation to more livable places - Suppose you relocate from SF to a more "livable" place like Tucson, not sure that'll reduce demand to go to places like Brazil, Europe I'm typing these words in the Medellin airport. Travelling sucks now. If travelling stays this crappy, then it's likely people will move around less.
- cblconfederate 6y agoNice, but the vast business of airbnb is for tourism. There will surely be a sizeable market for the remote working population but it's tiny compared to the tourism boom of 2000-2020.
