Airbnb is reporting that bookings have reached a record high as travel rebounds.
According to the BBC, nearly 104 million nights and experiences were booked on Airbnb’s platform between April and June of 2022, and the company said it’s in the middle of its strongest peak summer travel season yet.
Bookings in the April – June period rose by 25 percent over last year and up 24 percent from 2019.
According to the BBC, nearly half of all bookings were for a week, or longer and travel demands remained the strongest in North America, up by 37% over 2019.
“We have nearly every type of space in nearly every location, so however travel changes, we are able to adapt,” Airbnb said in a statement reported by Business Traveller. “And regardless of the economic environment, our guests come to Airbnb because they can find great value and our Hosts can earn extra income.”
