Despite several quarters of exceptional activity, Airbnb is looking to accelerate its recruitment of new tenants. Brian Chesky, the company’s CEO and co-founder, decided to lead by example. In turn, he will make his arrival on the platform as a presenter. Starting next year, he will rent out a room in his house in San Francisco and promises to welcome travelers personally. The announcement is already online, but bookings will open in January 2023…
But to convince new tenants, AirBnB first has very specific arguments. “Last year, the host in France earned about 3,600 euros, claims Emmanuel Maril, head of the French subsidiary. With inflation, seasonal rentals are the best way to make ends meet.”

The site is also developing new services for hosts. “Today, as during the great economic crisis of 2008, people especially need to earn extra income by becoming a host, says Brian Chesky. That’s why we’re creating an easy way for millions of people to list their homes on Airbnb.»
Every new host can now benefit from a free personalized consultation from a “superhost” familiar with the Airbnb vacation rental system.
The platform also extends its AirCover protection. In addition to verifying the identity of travelers in 35 countries, Airbnb promises to verify bookings in the United States and Canada to reduce risk. “disturbing evenings”. Finally, damage protection has been extended to $3 million to include cars, boats, artwork and other valuables.
While most rentals on Airbnb are for entire homes, listings for private rooms are growing. Compared to last year, they even jumped by 30% in the third quarter.
