Airbnb bookings reportedly expected to double to 80 million this year

Airbnb’s leaked internal performance numbers predict that it will double nightly bookings to 80 million this year, according to Reuters. The report cites a previous estimate from investment bank Piper Jaffray earlier this year that projected Airbnb’s nightly bookings would only rise to 61 million this year, up from 40 million last year. But apparently that estimate was far too conservative.
Assuming the leaked numbers end up being true and despite the fact that, in any case, they’re impressive growth figures, a large part of the surprise here is that Airbnb has been particularly hampered by the U.S. regulatory environment. Just one such example is a San Francisco proposal to limit the use of homes as hotels. Airbnb would obviously be on the front line of businesses to be hit by such a law.
