Skift Forum Europe
Skift Forum Europe was held in London, England on March 24, 2022. Find out about future Skift events through the link below.Amanda Cupples, Airbnb's general manager for Northern Europe and the United Kingdom, admitted the path to becoming a host on Airbnb is very much a journey.
But she told Skift Executive Editor Dennis Schaal at Skift Forum Europe on March 24 that the company is helping prospective hosts overcome the hurdles they might encounter through a program called Ask a Superhost. And as the number working remotely work continues to surge worldwide, Airbnb has also launched campaigns in countries such as France, Italy and the U.S. showcasing what it believes are the benefits of staying at one of its properties.
