How Airbnb Is Crushing Traditional Hotel Brands

Airbnb has released some super cool stats that prove what I have always believed: they are changing the hospitality business.

  • They created $632 million in economic activity just in New York in one year, and they supported 4,580 jobs throughout the five boroughs.
  • They have 500,000 properties worldwide.
  • They have found accommodation for 9 million guests worldwide (5 million in just the past nine months).
  • Over 150,000 guests stay in one of its members' properties every night.
  • They expect to pass InterContinental Hotels Group and Hilton Worldwide to become the globe's largest hotelier next year.
