Airbnb, Inc.'s Growth & Acquisition Strategy
Airbnb's stated growth priorities are improving its core marketplace, expanding outside its largest markets, adding offerings beyond homes, and integrating AI into the app. The May 2025 release added services, rebuilt experiences, and an updated app; the May 2026 release added more trip services and boutique hotels in selected markets.
How Airbnb, Inc. Makes Money
Airbnb provides a marketplace on which hosts offer stays, experiences, and services and guests make reservations. The company recognizes service-fee revenue after a reservation occurs. Hosts provide the accommodations and other offerings, so gross booking value is the value of bookings on the platform, not Airbnb revenue.
