By redefining traveler expectations and establishing a new type of lodging, Airbnb built the second most valuable travel company in the world in just a decade. As investors consider the Airbnb IPO, we analyse key questions facing the company. How will the Airbnb brand, hosts, guests, competitors & COVID impact its IPO?
The Coronavirus pandemic has hit the world hard, with travel one of the most affected industries. As such, Airbnb and its competitors have all been faced with an exceptionally tough climate, but have their performances suffered equally?
Location intelligence has become a growing necessity & is especially relevant to the hospitality industry’s most fragmented segment. Anyone in vacation rentals looking to expand to a new market, acquire property, evaluate prices, understand demand by area or simply better track competition & market shares, it is crucial.
A hunger for innovation and growth has driven Airbnb since its inception. As the distance between Airbnb and its unique origins has grown, so has the hunger, and need, to find new unique offerings. The IPO provides a moment to revisit some of these initiatives, such as Airbnb Experiences, Airbnb Plus & mid-term stays.
Airbnb has positioned and acquitted itself as THE alternative to hotels. Synonymous though it is with vacation rentals, Airbnb faces competition from big budget companies. While the biggest threat to Airbnb’s revenue is a fall in reservations, the most likely driver of this scenario is competition. The strength of Airbnb’s competitors therefore carries big weight in the forthcoming Airbnb IPO.
Airbnb’s vision of ‘belonging anywhere’ has captured the imagination and custom of millions. With brand so critical in a travel industry dominated by Google, a question surrounding the Airbnb IPO is: just how powerful is the Airbnb brand? Moreover, can it retain and attract yet more consumers to continue to grow in the face of changing demand and competition?
While the precise alchemy of Airbnb’s brand is a mystery, Airbnb’s supply and its host community is surely a huge ingredient. How hosts & their loyalty to Airbnb have changed are therefore crucial questions ahead of the Airbnb IPO.
