[drop 50 and fire for effect]

Not surprised, travel and travel related services are goping to take a beating this year.

Even without the shutdowns, an epidemic like this just kills leisure travel. I expect that even after things open up, folks will stay closer to home and do more day trips. Hotels and airlines are going to have to work hard to regain business.

Airbnb is particularly vulnerable as they, less than hotel chains, have less control over facility hygiene standards. I expect cleanliness to be a key selling point for the near future.

I respectfully disagree with your statement. We currently run three Airbnb's from our home and cleanliness is a major factor in attracting and retaining customers. You see, customers rate their experience at an Airbnb and the host also rates the customer. These ratings are then made public and future customers read them to decide if they should stay at the respective Airbnb. Our cleaning standards have always met or exceeded CDC recommendations even before the pandemic hit.
