Soon after the new year, CEO Brian Chesky asked Twitter, “If Airbnb could launch anything in 2022, what would it be?“
Chesky whittled down the 4,000 comments to derive the six most common suggestions. Top of the pile was bringing crypto payments to the platform, followed by clearer pricing, and the introduction of a loyalty program.
Without going into specifics, Chesky said the firm is already working on most of the suggestions. He also pledged to look into those not already being actively worked on.
This leaves the door open regarding whether Airbnb crypto payments will happen or not. Then again, some would say, the odds are it will happen given the circumstances faced by travel businesses.
