The Airbnb Story (International Edition): How Three Ordinary Guys Disrupted an Industry, Made Billions . . . and Created Plenty of Controversy
Autor Leigh Gallagheren Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 feb 2018
This
is the
remarkable
behind-the-scenes
story
of
the
creation
and
growth
of
Airbnb,
the
online
lodging
platform
that
has
become,
in
under
a
decade,
the
largest
provider
of
accommodations
in
the
world.
At
first
just
the
wacky
idea
of
cofounders
Brian
Chesky,
Joe
Gebbia,
and
Nathan
Blecharczyk,
Airbnb
has
disrupted
the
$500
billion
hotel
industry,
and
its
$30
billion
valuation
is
now
larger
than
that
of
Hilton
and
close
to
that
of
Marriott.
Airbnb
is
beloved
by
the
millions
of
members
in
its
“host”
community
and
the
travelers
they
shelter
every
night.
And
yet,
even
as
the
company
has
blazed
such
an
unexpected
path,
this
is
the
first
book
solely
dedicated
to
the
phenomenon
of
Airbnb.
Fortuneeditor
Leigh
Gallagher
explores
the
success
of
Airbnb
along
with
the
more
controversial
side
of
its
story.
Regulators
want
to
curb
its
rapid
expansion;
hotel
industry
leaders
wrestle
with
the
disruption
it
has
caused
them;
and
residents
and
customers
alike
struggle
with
the
unintended
consequences
of
opening
up
private
homes
for
public
consumption. This
is
also
the
first
in-depth
study
of
Airbnb's
leader,
Brian
Chesky,
the
quirky
and
curious
young
CEO,
as
he
steers
the
company
into
new
markets
and
increasingly
uncharted
waters.
