Airbnb’s $90B Economic Impact Study: Taking a Step Back to Understand What It Really Tells Us

Airbnb Services allow guests to book various in-home services directly through the platform, either during their stay with a host or even in their own homes. #airbnbservices #airbnbhosting #airbnbnews #airbnb_business #airbnbhosttips #shorttermrentals #propertymanagement #thibaultmasson #shorts #shortsfeed #viral #vacationrentalmanagement
What are Airbnb Services?
Airbnb is flipping the script. Once blamed for overtourism, housing shortages, and neighborhood disruption, the company is now launching economic impact reports, lobbying efforts, and even a Super PAC to shift the narrative—and the regulatory heat—onto hotels and mass tourism engines like airlines and cruise lines. But what does this political pivot mean for you—the professional property manager? In this week’s video, Uvika breaks down Airbnb’s evolving identity, its latest EU and U.S. campaigns, the backlash across European cities, and what all of this means for your business. Is Airbnb defending hosts… or defending itself? And how do you position your brand amid rising scrutiny? 📈 Get the real story behind the strategy 📊 Understand how the regulatory fight affects your operations 💬 And tell us: Is Airbnb still the ally of pro managers—or just another player protecting its turf? 📖 We’ve also published a detailed breakdown article if you want to go even deeper: https://www.rentalscaleup.com/airbnb-flips-the-script-turning-the-hotel-lobbys-playbook-against-itself/ 📩 Get our free weekly newsletter to get industry insights straight to your inbox: https://www.rentalscaleup.com/newsletter/ 🔔 Hit the bell so you don’t miss what’s coming next. #Airbnb #nyc #europe #usa #politicalnews #UvikaWahi #trending #shorttermrentals #propertymanagement #hotels #lobbying

Hotels Are the Problem? Airbnb Tries to Flip the Overtourism Narrative
Airbnb’s SuperPAC is spending millions on NYC’s mayoral race, but not to support anyone, just to oppose #zohranmamdani, #bradlander, and #scottstringer. How risky or otherwise will this prove for Airbnb? #airbnb #andrewcuomo #nycelection #nyc #newyork #shorttermrentals #UvikaWahi #PropertyManagement #shorts #usa
Is Airbnb Trying to Get Cuomo Elected in NYC?
Airbnb has been spending millions on the NYC election without ever saying “Airbnb.” Here’s how the brand is reshaping its message on affordability without saying the words short-term rentals at all. #airbnb #nycelection uvikawahi #shorttermrentals #newyorkcity #nyc #propertymanagement
Airbnb Is Spending Millions on NYC Elections
Airbnb is spending $5 million on NYC politics—without ever saying “Airbnb.” Airbnb is funding a Super Political Action Committee (SuperPAC) called Affordable New York, which has launched a $1 million digital ad campaign targeting three Democratic candidates: Zohran Mamdani, Brad Lander, and Scott Stringer—all known for their strong anti-short-term rental stances. But here’s the twist 👀: • The ads never mention Airbnb. • They don’t talk about short-term rentals. • They frame the issue around “affordability,” claiming these candidates support policies that make NYC more expensive for working families. So what’s Airbnb really doing here? 🧩 In this video, we unpack the full story: • What a SuperPAC is and how it allows Airbnb to spend big without appearing on campaign finance records. • Why the ads may indirectly boost Andrew Cuomo, despite his history of cracking down on STRs. • How Airbnb is also backing City Council candidates who support STR reform—making this a two-level political play. • Why this campaign is about more than NYC—and how it signals a global shift in how STR platforms fight regulation. Regulatory battles are no longer limited to city council hearings. They’re being fought through ads, SuperPACs, and public messaging. 📖 We’ve also published a detailed breakdown article if you want to go even deeper: https://www.rentalscaleup.com/airbnb-is-spending-5-million-on-nyc-elections-heres-why/ 📩 Get our free weekly newsletter to get industry insights straight to your inbox: https://www.rentalscaleup.com/newsletter/ 🔔 Hit the bell so you don’t miss what’s coming next. #Airbnb #nyc #mayor #elections2025 #uselection #usa #politicalnews #ads #UvikaWahi #trending #shorttermrentals #propertymanagement
