Attendees Do Use Airbnb

Planners weigh pros and cons of alternative lodging

Nearly half of meeting planners say their attendees are using Airbnb and its ilk for meetings. Six percent of the 89 respondents to an M&C survey include Airbnb as an official housing option, and another 10 percent are considering doing so. Eight percent have reduced room blocks as a result; 14 percent expect to do so in the future.
