Airbnb also for business travelers
ON THE GO Some of you may already know this—others may not. Airbnb, the largest online platform for private accommodations, also offers services for business travel.Airbnb is growing. In 2015, more than 300,000 guests rented accommodation on the site. That's almost twice as many as the year before. In the Swiss tourism industry, Airbnb was one of the few companies to perform well last year. Other hotels, campsites, B&B establishments and youth hostels, on the other hand, suffered from the strong Swiss franc, and the Swiss offering now comprises 17,000 listings. With this rapid growth, it was only a matter of time before Airbnb also established itself in the corporate sector. Companies now have the opportunity to rent an entire apartment. Longer stays are also permitted, as are group trips for undisturbed meetings.The advantages at a glance:- 5-star ratingsOnly accommodations with a 5-star rating and at least 60 percent of the total ratings are displayed.
