LEADERSHIP CALL FOR ACTION! CORONAVIRUS

[Jason1350]

Please ‘Like’ this thread if you agree we need AirBnB to better address host impact resulting from the Coronavirus. 

I’m writing because after several attempts corporate doesn’t seem to be taking any responsibility to address the impact hosts are experiencing due to excessive cancellations resulting from the Coronavirus.  

As a host for almost a decade I believe I can speak on behalf of myself and other hosts, my peers when I say—we put our faith, our confidence and an overwhelming commitment into this brand and therefore its leadership. We simply deserve some consideration and that comes with the leadership effectively addressing the many concerns we hosts have as a result of the Coronavirus and the decisions / actions AirBnB is taking that directly effect our lives and our livelihood. 

I’ve invested a lot in AirBnB and I have hope that via this thread...

1. collectively we who have helped build and shape this brand can again prove to be assets to helping overcome the shared obstacles that we face today. 

2. leadership will acknowledge these concerns and take the learnings into account to fairly address them with diligence and Godspeed. 

As it relates to the Coronavirus, please share in the comments: 

-specific concerns you have 

-how this is affecting you

-suggestions 

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and those affected by this.

This will probably get blocked by Airbnb as my previous comments have......... not really happy with US "reaching out" are they?????? I have found Airbnb to be totally, completely and utterly useless during the past 2 months. It is only now that they are addressing the concerns I flagged up to them in January. Always in favour of the guest. I would like my next superhost reward to be cash, rather than a voucher as this would be much more useful ..................... and acceptable. We are NOT business partners within their definition. Look who takes the largest profit........................ As usual I feel vulnerable and unsupported as a host.

Don't be surprised if Airbnb et al apply for chapter 11 bankruptcy as this COVID19 has the destroyed the STR business for this year at least and we're only at the beginning of April
