I think it would be great if AIRBNB woulfd do more to diferentiate itself from Hotels, and traditional B&B's.
I have been hostng in my home for two years, and time after time I hear that guests love staying in a home, because it is totally different from staying in a hotel.
Where is the Marketing and Branding team???????
Come on guys and gals, I believe you can do better.
We must differentiate ourselves. The hotel industry is trying to shut us down.
We are not selling the same thing.
I don't think just fighting against our city officials will work, we can do more. We must
show them how different it is to stay in a home, vs, a hotel.
That is why we should not be required to pay the same tax rates, or have the same regulations. Yes some regulations are very important, but not to the point that we cannot survive and make our living.
Especially for us empty nesters, semi retired folks.
This is the only way I can continue to stay in my home, plus I love the social aspect as well.
It's not a hotel!!!
Thanks for listening.
Let's talk,
