"Airbnb was born during a recession. Joe and I couldn't afford to pay our rent, so we inflated three air mattresses and created an AirBed & Breakfast. Soon, people all around the world joined us," said Brian Chesky, CEO and Co-Founder of Airbnb. "Today, just like during the Great Recession in 2008, people are especially interested in earning extra income through hosting. That's why we're introducing an easy way for millions of people to Airbnb their homes. With Airbnb Setup, every new Host can get free, one-to-one guidance from a Superhost from their first question through their first reservation. And with even more AirCover for Hosts, now is the perfect time to put your place on Airbnb."
Bookings for new Airbnb properties happen quickly. In the third quarter of 2022, half of the listings that were active and booked had their first reservation within three days. Strong growth rates of new Hosts have also been observed, particularly in some nations with high inflation rates.
