What happened
Skift reports that Airbnb.org is setting a goal of providing one million free nights annually and plans to help fund that target in part by collecting a dime from each booking.
Why it matters
If implemented, the program could increase availability of donated stays for people needing temporary housing; travelers may see a small per-booking charge used for that purpose if the plan is adopted.
Key details
- Target: 1,000,000 free nights per year.
- Planned funding mechanism includes adding a $0.10 charge per booking to help finance the initiative.
