Airbnb uses major events to increase brand awareness, attract first-time guests, and encourage new local hosts to list homes. During the World Cup, more than 150,000 homes across host cities were listed on Airbnb for the first time, and the platform hosted millions of people. Management said the benefits extend beyond the event through lasting brand trust, supply creation, and city-level visitor capacity. Airbnb is extending the event playbook to the Olympics, Tour de France, Art Basel, Lollapalooza, LaLiga in Spain, and NASCAR.
