February 18, 2023

Airbnb's Q4 2022 earnings report showed a 35% revenue growth over the past six months, indicating a strong travel industry recovery after COVID.

The numbers surprised investors and disproved claims of an “Airbnbust.” Only 21% of property managers on the Transparent platform saw fewer bookings out of over 275,000 short-term rental listings worldwide.

Bottom Line: there is NO BNBbust!

Although there's currently no sign of a BNBbust, reduced demand on the Airbnb platform is pushing hosts to explore new ways to build genuine hospitality brands.

So, how can you keep up with the post-Covid market, adapt to changing customer needs, and improve your business strategies to focus on guest acquisition and retention?

In this episode of STR conversations, Eric and I delve into Airbnb's Q4 2022 earnings report, uncover the current realities of the short-term rental industry, and explore the pressing need for hosts to cater to the informed traveler of today.
