Airbnb Focuses On Remote Workers in the Post-Pandemic Travel Landscape

Mary Cate: As the year unfolds, Airbnb continues to lean into the new work and travel landscape that the coronavirus pandemic left in its wake. Their summer launch added features designed to support remote workers searching for a longer-term “workcation” destinations, as well as the general uptick in summer travel. These features included AirCover (their updated, robust travel insurance policy) and new search categories. The following are just a few Airbnb that are perfect for remote workers:

Remote work isn’t going anywhere and it’s revolutionizing how people are incorporating travel into their daily lives.

According to fascinating new data from Airbnb, one out of every five nights booked in their third quarter were stays of 28 days or longer. Many went for even more ambitious stays with 100,000 Airbnb users booking stays of 90 days or longer. Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky announced that he, too, will be joining the ever-rising work-from-anywhere movement and live solely in Airbnbs, changing locales every few weeks.

If you’re one of many workers who’s found yourself with a more flexible, remote work life, these North American Airbnbs are perfect for you. They have everything needed for an exciting change of scenery while still getting work done. We’re talking long-term discounts, dedicated workspaces, washers, and kitchens. Bon voyage!
