Airbnb Positioned to be Big Winner From World Cup -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-29

1218 ET - Airbnb is set up to be one of the primary benefactors among travel companies from the World Cup, JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth says. Compared with hotels, Airbnb listings cover nearly twice the number of zip codes in host cities, making it the "go-to 'relief-valve' for event-driven demand," Anmuth says. Demand for World Cup attendance is already far outpacing supply, with more than 500 million requests for tickets compared with the roughly 7 million tickets that are available, he says. Data shows Airbnb could capture 2.7 million guest nights and $330 million in guest spend on accommodations related to the event, says Anmuth. (katherine.hamilton@wsj.com)
