Airbnb
Airbnb was born in 2007 on a simple idea: that travel can create meaningful connections between people and the communities they visit. Today, Airbnb is a global platform built on connection and belonging, helping millions of people experience destinations in more authentic ways.

Across Canada, Airbnb connects millions of travellers with communities of all sizes – including 9.5 million domestic travellers in 2025 alone – generating more than $10 billion in economic activity and supporting approximately 110,000 jobs annually. Here in B.C. that’s over $2.5 billion in economic activity, close to 21,000 jobs supported, and over $690 million in tax revenue.
Every day, Airbnb hosts offer unique spaces, experiences and services that help travellers connect more deeply with the places they visit. In Victoria and communities across B.C., hosts play an important role in strengthening local economies, helping spread the benefits of tourism to neighbourhoods, businesses and communities across the province.
