Airbnb has grown at a rapid rate globally since its foundation back in 2008. Having created a whole new concept in the hospitality industry, they have made the hotel behemoths of the world sit up and take notice. It has also provided a platform for people to make money in an area they might have previously overlooked and for the consumer, they have provided a viable alternative to the traditional hotel room offering. Potential guests are presented with options to suit practically all travel budgets; from those who would traditionally have stayed in a hostel to those who would have only considered a penthouse hotel suite.
Airbnb has created a concept that allows the discerning traveller the option to stay in authentic properties in many cities all over the world. We are also witnessing people making handsome incomes from the letting of their property or parts (rooms) of their property.
