Airbnb, a travel and housing rental platform, announced today that due to the impact of the epidemic and for health reasons, global users are prohibited from holding any “party” or other large-scale activities in the houses provided by airbnb. in addition, airbnb today introduced a 16 person occupancy limit. Previously, airbnb allowed more than 16 people to stay in larger homes. Today, airbnb limits the number of people to 16. airbnb said in a blog post that it is in the best interest of the public to make these restrictions globally. Airbnb also said the bans apply to all future bookings of airbnb and are valid indefinitely until further notice. airbnb said that 73% of the homes on its platform had banned parties in their occupancy rules. In fact, airbnb banned “party houses” worldwide last year, but they are basically houses that have repeatedly caused trouble to local communities. affected by the epidemic situation, airbnb has removed the search and filtering option of “suitable for holding activities” from its platform and told users to abide by the epidemic prevention guidelines of the local government. airbnb said today: “some people choose to bring bar and club behavior into their homes, including houses that are reserved through our platform. We believe that this kind of behavior is extremely irresponsible, and we do not want this type of business; anyone who engages in or allows such behavior is not part of our platform. ” affected by the business model, airbnb can not always prevent the party behavior of users. Some guests can sometimes go to remote houses to check in and gather many others, ignoring the rules. there have been a number of incidents in which airbnb guests violated the room rules and held parties, at least one of which led to significant property losses. just yesterday, airbnb just announced that it had submitted an IPO (initial public offering) prospectus to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), but the size and price range of the offering have not been determined. in a round of private financing in 2017, airbnb was once valued at $31 billion. But airbnb’s valuation fell to about $18bn in debt and equity securities financing in April.
