Airbnb maintains a remote work policy that started in April 2022, allowing employees to work from various locations while requiring monthly in-person meetings in San Francisco. CEO Brian Chesky specifies that employees must attend the office for one week each month, with some staying longer than others. These gatherings aim for collaboration and do not focus solely on increasing office attendance. Chesky acknowledges the logistical challenges of relocating employees and states that Airbnb covers travel costs for those who live out-of-state or internationally. The policy has led to approximately 20% of employees relocating. Chesky emphasizes that productivity stems from challenging deadlines rather than mandatory office presence.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Technological innovations are led by people, and in this episode, the leaders of two of the most influential companies in Silicon Valley provide some insight into the human drivers of their products. Sam Altman is co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, which created the artificial intelligence tools ChatGPT and DALL-E. Brian Chesky is co-founder and CEO of Airbnb, which has revolutionized the hospitality industry. Altman and Chesky are also close friends, exchanging advice and support when the road gets bumpy, as it has at times for both. NBC News anchor Lester Holt interviews the founders about the challenges, accomplishments and responsibilities that come with charting new technological territory. This conversation was recorded at the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival in June. Altman said publicly in late September that OpenAI, which was founded as a nonprofit, is considering converting to a for-profit company. The day before that announcement, three top executives resigned from the company, but Altman said those departures were unrelated. Despite internal turmoil, OpenAI reportedly raised $6.6 billion in early October, which follows a funding round of $10 billion in January. aspenideas.org

Episode Notes Airbnb aims to focus on a lot more than short-term rentals. The company has plans to consistently launch new lines of business going forward, including those that may not be geared toward travel, writes Travel Technology Reporter Justin Dawes. CEO Brian Chesky said at the Skift Global Forum on Wednesday he anticipates launching two or three ventures annually that could eventually generate a billion dollars a year in revenue. He acknowledged not all of those ventures will be successful, but added now is the right time for the company to grow beyond the core business.  Chesky also said that stays between 30 and 90 days could represent a huge area of growth for Airbnb, noting that online travel agencies wouldn't likely provide travelers that opportunity. Next, Las Vegas officials believe the city needs to host more big sporting events to help maintain tourism growth, writes Global Tourism Reporter Dawit Habtemariam.   Steve Hill, CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, said at the Skift Global Forum the city aims to have a marquee event in the first or second quarter of each year in addition to the annual Formula 1 race. Las Vegas hosted the Super Bowl this February, which generated $1 billion in incremental economic impact.  Sandra Douglass Morgan, president of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders, said the city wouldn't be the same if it stopped hosting large sporting events. Las Vegas is scheduled to host Wrestlemania and the College Football Playoff National Championship next year. Finally, Dubai is synonymous with luxury tourism. But the city is looking to rely less on its famous landmarks and celebrity campaigns in favor of what it considers a more authentic tourism experience, writes Middle East Reporter Josh Corder.  Dubai Tourism CEO Issam Kazim said the city needed landmark projects and luxury hotels to attract tourists in the beginning. But he said Dubai Tourism is working to showcase the city's residents and hidden gems, citing its arts and culture.  For more travel stories and deep dives into the latest trends, head to skift.com.  Connect with Skift LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/skift/ X: https://twitter.com/skift Facebook: https://facebook.com/skiftnews Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skiftnews/ WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaAL375LikgIXmNPYQ0L/ Subscribe to @SkiftNews and never miss an update from the travel industry.

Episode Notes Skift has unveiled its Power Rankings, our list of the most influential people in the travel industry. With the help of Skift Research, our editors spent several months establishing a methodology, crunching the numbers and weighing each leader's influence to create our list of travel's 30 most powerful people.  Hilton CEO Chris Nassetta takes the top spot on our list. During his time as Hilton CEO, Nassetta has more than doubled Hilton's global room. Number two is Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, who has helped change how many people travel around the world. And just behind Chesky is United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby, the driving force behind the Chicago-based carrier being one of the U.S.' most profitable airlines.  Next, both Marriott and Hilton recently reached milestones in terms of portfolio growth. What company is leading the hotel growth race though? Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill delves into the matter. Hilton and Accor have seen their property counts increase by at least 6% in the past five years. Meanwhile, Hyatt registered a 25% growth spurt although O'Neill notes it was a jump from a significantly smaller base. As for room count, Hyatt was the largest gainer, recording a roughly 16% increase in the last five years.  Finally, Expedia Group CEO Ariane Gorin has defended its $25 billion B2B business, arguing it isn't diluting the company's consumer businesses, writes Executive Editor Dennis Schaal. Gorin said at a recent investor conference that the B2B business is “incremental” to Expedia's consumer businesses — including Expedia.com, Hotels.com and Vrbo. She noted that 60% of the bookings in the B2B business take place at points of sale on partner sites outside of the U.S. As for Expedia's total business, including its consumer brands, only about 36% of revenue last year was generated outside of the U.S.   However, Skift Senior Research Analyst Pranavi Agarwal argues that Expedia is creating more competition for itself.  Connect with Skift LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/skift/ X: https://twitter.com/skift Facebook: https://facebook.com/skiftnews Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skiftnews/ WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaAL375LikgIXmNPYQ0L/ Subscribe to @SkiftNews and never miss an update from the travel industry.

Episode Notes Airbnb is ramping up its plans for international expansion. The short-term rental giant is looking to grow significantly beyond its five biggest markets, writes Executive Editor Dennis Schaal.  CEO Brian Chesky said during its first-quarter earnings call that Airbnb is ready to step on the gas regarding international expansion. He cited Mexico, Brazil, China and Japan, among other countries, as markets the company is focusing on. Chesky said Airbnb recently updated its app in China, and the company is making similar improvements in Japan and South Korea.   Next, Tripadvisor executives said the company doesn't have any plans for a sale at the moment despite having previously explored the possibility, writes Executive Editor Schaal.  Tripadvisor made the announcement during its recent first-quarter earnings call. The company had formed a special committee to review potential deals after controlling shareholder Liberty Tripadvisor revealed in February it was exploring a potential sale. Skift reported earlier that private equity firm Apollo Global Management was looking into the deal.  Meanwhile, the company offered a weaker outlook for its major businesses, which it attributed to changes in Google's travel search results pages.  Finally, Saudi Arabia is set to unveil a new cruise brand Aroya this December that aims to serve a domestic market, writes Middle East Reporter Josh Corder.  Aroya ships will include cigar lounges, jacuzzis, wellness facilities among other features. However, Corder reports the company has no plans to add features that would appeal to overseas travelers - including alcohol. Aroya spokesperson Turky Kari said the company is targeting Arabian markets, adding wherever its ships travel, Aroya would follow Saudi law. 

Episode Notes Airbnb is looking to make waves with the launch of nearly a dozen experience-based homes the company is calling “Icons.” CEO Brian Chesky discussed the new product, as well as AI, loyalty programs and other subjects in a wide-ranging interview with Skift Editor-in-Chief Sarah Kopit.  Chesky described Icons as a “gateway” into the experiences category, which Airbnb has been eager to break into. He acknowledged Icons won't be a classic revenue generator for Airbnb as the houses will either be free or low cost to guests.  In addition, Chesky said Airbnb is working on implementing AI-powered customer service. As for a loyalty program, Chesky said the company plans to start one. He's adamant that it won't be a points program, but said he's open to other formats, including paid membership like Amazon Prime.  Next, Marriott believes post-pandemic domestic travel demand in the U.S. is leveling out despite a global boom, reports Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill.  Marriott CEO Anthony Capuano said during the first-quarter earnings call that North American travel demand patterns were normalizing. U.S. and Canadian hotels saw their revenue per available room — a key industry metric — rise 1.5% from last year. Chief Financial Officer Leeny Oberg cited Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America as regions Marriott expects to see a year-over-year increase in revenue per available room.  Finally, Saudi Arabia is investing heavily in its tourism infrastructure as part of its strategy to attract more visitors by the end of the decade. But Middle East Reporter Josh Corder writes there's a growing belief that the kingdom's Vision 2030 is too expensive for travelers.  A Wyndham executive at the recent Future Hospitality Summit in Riyadh said Saudi Arabia could become too exclusive for travelers, stating that three-star hotels democratize travel. Another executive said Saudi officials aren't focusing on developing mid-market hotels, which he called the core accommodation for any city — instead opting to boost the luxury sector.  Corder reports roughly 320,000 new hotels are expected to open in Saudi Arabia, and roughly 82% of them are in the luxury and upscale segments. 

Episode Notes Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky's 10-year pay package, announced in 2021, could hit $1 billion or more if the company's share price hits certain price targets, reports Executive Editor Dennis Schaal.   Airbnb said recently the potential value of Cheksy's eight remaining tranches of unearned shares at the end of 2023 was $1.3 billion. However, Schaal notes it's far from certain that Chesky will receive the shares. Airbnb awarded Chesky a pay package with 12 million restricted stock units that the company valued at $430 million in November 2020 before Airbnb's IPO. The potential payout would be based on whether Airbnb's share price hits the designated thresholds as well as the actual share price on the date an earned award settles.   Next, Europe's largest tour operator TUI announced in February it would be offering sustainability-linked bonds. Travel Experiences Reporter Jesse Chase-Lubitz delves into whether those bonds are a step toward more sustainable tourism or a form of greenwashing.   TUI's sustainability-linked bonds are tied to an overall environmental target – if it misses the target, it pays a higher interest rate. The Germany-based tour operator has linked its bonds to its airline division, which is responsible for 70% of the company's total greenhouse gas emissions.  However, Chase-Lubitz notes some climate finance experts aren't sold on the new instruments: They don't have a long track record and there's no standard for measuring progress. An executive at a global investment bank described sustainability-linked bonds as the Wild West.  Finally, Google is releasing new features that aim to promote greener ways of travel, writes Travel Technology Reporter Justin Dawes. Dawes reports the new features will appear in its Maps, Search, Flights and Hotels products, adding some of those features are powered by generative artificial intelligence. Google Maps will also include features to help electric vehicle drivers locate charging stations. Dawes also notes Google's Travel Impact Model is free to other tech companies that want to embed carbon emissions info into their websites or apps.  Presenter/Producer: Jose Marmolejos

Episode Notes Marriott and Hilton have both released their annual financial reports for 2023. Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill lists 12 noteworthy takeaways after comparing the companies' 10-K filings.  The two hotel giants have a rivalry in terms of loyalty program membership numbers. Marriott currently has roughly 16 million more loyalty program members than Hilton. But O'Neill notes Hilton could overtake Marriott in 2025 if the two companies maintain their most recent growth rates this year.  O'Neill adds that both companies were considerably more profitable in 2023 than they were six years prior.  Next, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky believes the company can create a new artificial intelligence interface that will help transform it into a cross-vertical company, writes Executive Editor Dennis Schaal.   Chesky said the planned interface could be one of the most innovative ever created. He added that it would enable Airbnb to become a cross-vertical company: Think Amazon when it expanded beyond books and Apple when it launched the app store. Chesky also said Airbnb would make announcements later this year regarding new products and services.   Finally, American Express has opened the world's largest Centurion Lounge at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, writes Airlines Editor Gordon Smith. The 26,000-square foot lounge, which includes indoor and outdoor areas, is American Express' latest effort to target high-spending travelers. It also includes a whiskey bar serving cocktails designed by Centurion's mixologist. American Express Travel President Audrey Hendley said a new Atlanta lounge was a major priority for the company. 

Based on the latest Airbnb Earnings Call held on Tuesday February 13th 2024, executive leaders, including CEO Brian Chesky, have disclosed the financial performance and milestones of the company in 2023 - up until the fourth quarter. Chesky revealed in the call, "We wrapped 2023 with another strong quarter. We had 99 million Nights and Experiences Booked in Q4, our highest fourth quarter ever." Following the parameters of the fourth quarter, Airbnb showed a significant increase in its financial performance. The reported year-over-year revenue rise of 70% in comparison to the previous year indicates a robust financial year for the company, with Airbnb's 2023 revenues reaching $2.2 billion. This financial growth stems largely from the company's strategic decision to mainstream hosting, leading to a suitable expansion in Airbnb's host community. Increased investment in underserved global markets and the introduction of innovative products have offered ways for Airbnb to diversify and create a blueprint for organic growth. It's important to note that these developments and growth strategies, as detailed on the earnings call, are what company executives have considered substantial factors to their successful year. It's also worth noting the positive consumer patterns observed on Airbnb's platform. A significant increase in first-time users and a 12% rise in nights and experiences booked is visible. These consumer trends pair well with the ascension of Airbnb's mobile platform, demonstrating the effect of technology on consumer behavior. Moving forward, Chesky shared that they are exploring territories beyond their primary service. Specifically, Airbnb has identified the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland as potential growth areas. The company also aims to leverage artificial intelligence technology for customer personalization and service interfaces, showing a commitment to innovation. However, while the company's strategic approaches and consumer trends signal a period of growth and expansion, it's essential to contextualize these findings. The statement is based on the numbers and optimistic view declared by Airbnb's executive team during the earnings call. Like any business forecast, it is subject to change based on market conditions and other variables. In conclusion, Airbnb's recent earnings call presents a business navigating its way through a strong financial period and favorable market conditions. However, it's important to heed that these are based solely on Airbnb's self-reported performance metrics and projected strategies for the future. The exact outcomes remain dependent on various factors, including competitor actions, regulatory changes, and global economic circumstances.

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky has admitted that the short-term rental company is in over its head and needs “to get our house in order.” The company scaled very fast, very quickly, and did not build up its systems to match, he said.   “To use a precise metaphor, it's kind of like we never fully built the foundation. Like, we had a house, and it had four pillars when we needed to have 10,” Chesky told Bloomberg. The platform recently rolled out several new features to patch up the cracks in its foundation, but will it be enough to keep the short-term rental site going? Or is it a signal of bigger changes to come for the industry that could trickle down to real estate investors?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Brian Chesky, the co-founder and CEO of Airbnb, was previously on the show in 2021. Back then, Airbnb was betting big on long-term stays for remote work amid the pandemic, and Chesky had just restructured the company to a more functional organization, getting rid of the divisions it had before. Now, the pandemic is ending, Airbnb has itself adopted a hybrid policy, Chesky's back in the office several days a week, and they're two years into that new structure. So that's pure Decoder bait. I wanted to ask Chesky how that restructure is going. Has it really made the company more agile and cohesive like he hoped? Has the bet on working from anywhere paid off?

This week I was excited to welcome Chip Conley to the show for a great conversation about wisdom and the transforming experience of being a “Modern Elder.” Chip is the CEO and Co-Founder of The Modern Elder Academy, the "world's first wisdom school" dedicated to reframing aging and helping people navigate the second half of adulthood with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.  Conley founded and ran the highly successful boutique hotel chain Joie de Vivre for over 20 years before accepting, at age 52, a position as the in-house mentor to Brian Chesky, the youthful co-founder and CEO of Airbnb. At the time, Conley was twice the age of most of the employees at the rapidly-growing company. During his years working there, he discovered how sharing wisdom and swapping ideas with Chesky helped them both to thrive. He honed his own sense of purpose for his second half of life: “To build a community of inspired and empowered midlifers.” In this chat Chip and I trace his journey and discuss the power of what he calls metabolizing wisdom. We also discuss the need for finding purpose and the fact that people who feel aligned with their sense of purpose tend to live longer, and during those extra years of life they also generally are healthier, feel happier and are less lonely. This is a great conversation for people of all ages and is vital for anyone looking at the second half of adulthood and asking questions about how they can apply their unique skills and life experiences to a more enriching career path or period of mentorship.

On the morning of July 16, 1936, the crumpled body of nineteen-year-old college student Helen Clevenger was found by her uncle in her room at Asheville, North Carolina's Battery Park Hotel. She'd been shot in the chest and her face had been cut. A black bell hop named Martin Moore would ultimately confess after the murder weapon was found under his porch, but eyewitnesses reported seeing a white man flee the scene of the crime, and questions of police coercion linger to this day.My guest is Anne Chesky Smith, author of “Murder at Asheville's Battery Park Hotel: The Search for Helen Clevenger's Killer”. She walks us through the details of the case, clouded by politics in the era of Jim Crow. Photos and more about the story can be found at the Western North Carolina Historical Association's website: https://www.wnchistory.org/wnc-history-story-behind-the-accused-murderer-in-1936-battery-park-hotel-homicide/The book is available to purchase here: https://www.arcadiapublishing.com/Products/9781467145602

At the start of the pandemic, Airbnb lost 80% of its business in about eight weeks. CEO Brian Chesky calls it a near-death experience for his company. On today’s show, we’ll talk with Chesky about where his business is going and why he believes “work from anywhere” is the future. Plus: how consumers are responding to (barely) slowing inflation, what Treasury bond yields have to do with student loans and why the Oakland A’s are playing ball for tiny crowds.
