Data from Concur, a travel-expense firm, show that the number of corporate trips booked through Airbnb has grown by 44% in a year earlier as compared to Q2 2016. Airbnb itself estimates that 10% of its bookings are now for work rather than pleasure. According to Concur, the top three cities for Airbnb in terms of amounts expensed are San Fransisco, London and New York. All three cities, however, are trying to limit Airbnb’s reach, forcing the home-sharing company into a conundrum.
