Business model

Airbnb runs on a marketplace platform model where it connects hosts and travelers and enables transactions without owning any rooms itself. Such platforms disrupt traditional industries by creating new sources of supply and relying on curation for developing quality. Unlike traditional hotels, Airbnb scales not by scaling inventory but by increasing the hosts and travelers and matching them with each other.
