Airbnb recorded strong performance, surpassing the average growth rate of the travel sector in 2024.
According to the financial results, Airbnb closed the year with bookings for 491 million overnight stays and experiences.
Furthermore, in 2024, the company had revenues exceeding $11 billion, with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) up 11% year-over-year, to $4 billion.
As reported, this performance is primarily due to strong demand and less to the average daily rate (ADR), as percentage increases here were very low.
Airbnb stronger than ever
Commenting on the fourth-quarter and full-year results, Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky stated:
“In 2024, we outpaced the growth of the travel industry, with revenue, nights booked, and gross booking value (GBV) accelerating in Q4. This growth reflects the significant improvements we’ve made to Airbnb’s usability, affordability, and reliability—and we’re excited to build on this momentum in 2025.”
The company emphasizes that the Airbnb platform has been radically rebuilt, fully leveraging all technological advancements. Users now enjoy high-level experiences through 535 features and upgrades based on feedback from guests and hosts.
“Today,” the company states, “our service is better than ever, and our platform is ready to support the new offerings we will launch as part of our Summer Release in May 2025.” It also emphasizes that while this upgrade prepares for long-term growth, it has already positively impacted the business, as evidenced by the fourth-quarter results.
