Airbnb, a community-driven hospitality company, has announced that travel on the platform nearly tripled in India in the last year.
"Countries all over the world continue to embrace home sharing, and we are excited that India is at the forefront of this movement," said Nathan Blecharczyk, Airbnb co-founder and CTO.
"For countless families, home sharing is an economic lifeline. It helps people around the world turn one of their greatest assets into a tool to make ends meet. In a country like India where technology is unlocking new and exciting opportunities, I am thrilled the government is keen to make it easier for locals to be part of the sharing economy."
India is a large and growing travel market that is set to pass the $40-billion mark by 2020. As increasing numbers of travellers are looking for new ways to experience the world, Airbnb helps give Indian travellers the chance to truly live like a local in unique accommodations in top destinations for India including France, Italy, the UK, United States and Australia.
