With Los Angeles readying for the Big Game in less than one month, local Hosts are preparing to open their doors to help welcome fans to their community. From October to November 2021, searches for accommodations on Airbnb in the City of Angels during the February game weekend increased by approximately 50 percent, indicating that the event will likely be a boon both for those with space to share as well as small businesses who will benefit from local spending by incoming guests.
Airbnb CEO and Co-Founder Brian Chesky announced that he too will live on Airbnb. Starting this week in Atlanta, Brian will stay in people’s homes in new towns or cities every few weeks, and return to San Francisco in the same way that many remote workers are returning regularly to the cities where they work in order to collaborate with colleagues.
