Airbnb a household name…
Short Term Rental Accommodation (STRA) or Short Term Holiday Letting (STHL)
Disintermediation
Disruption
Not the share or collaborative economy
Commercial enterprise
@Lct.Hodgson
Airbnb in Australia – does this sound like a share economy?
In the top 10 users globally, as guests and hosts.
Sydney is in the top 10 of global destinations.
30.1% of Sydney’s hosts have multiple listings.
Fitzroy, Melbourne, increased its visits of Airbnb guests by 770% from 2015-2016.
Airbnb has partnerships with Qantas and the Flight Centre Travel Group as part of its expansion into business travel.
Airbnb & Victorian Government have partnered for Airbnb to provide free accommodation in response to natural disasters.
