Συμφωνία συνεργασίας με τους Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες του 2016 στο Ρίο της Βραζιλίας υπέγραψε η Airbnb για υπηρεσίες εναλλακτικής διαμονής των θεατών.
Η υπηρεσία “διαμοιρασμού κατοικιών”, που έχει δημιουργήσει μεγάλο θόρυβο στις πόλεις που δραστηριοποιείται, θα παρέχεται μαζί με υπηρεσίες κλεισίματος εισιτηρίων.
Σίγουρα πάντως θα δημιουργήσει πολύ θόρυβο η συμφωνία αυτή.

Airbnb has signed an agreement to be the official alternative accommodation services supplier for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. The home-sharing service, which offers rentals from private hosts, said Rio has become one of its top destinations exceeded only by Paris, New York and London. “We are extremely proud to be partnering with the Rio 2016 Olympic Committee to officially bring home sharing to the Games,” said chief product officer, Joe Gebbia. “With visitors travelling from around the world, Rio residents get to serve as diplomats to their home country, hosting a global audience with real, authentic Brazilian hospitality. Together with Rio 2016, our hosts will ensure visitors have the opportunity to get to know the heart of Rio as well as enjoy the spectacle of the Olympic Games.” Airbnb said the new partnership is an example of how it can help cities where adding capacity will help boost tourism. As an official supplier in Brazil, Airbnb will be included in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games ticketing platform via a specific landing page where customers will be able to book their listings in Rio. In addition there will be exclusive activities and experiences reserved for the Airbnb community.
