Travel has been a part of society for as long as time and has continued to develop throughout history. Many new developments are in regard to transportation from one place to another and not where to stay once you get to a certain destination. Yes, there were hotels and inns before but often they would get filled up very quickly. Thankfully, Brian Joseph Chesky came up with a brilliant solution to this dilemma. Chesky is an American businessman who was born in Niskayuna, New York. He is known for being a co-founder and the current CEO of Airbnb. Airbnb is an online marketplace for short- and long-term homestays in local and foreign locations. Today the company is the most well known for its line of work and is used all across the globe. Before Airbnb became the super industry that it is now, it started off as just a side hustle to pick up a little extra cash. It all began in the apartment room of Chesky and his cofounder, Joe Gebbia. They were both broke at the time and in desperate need of some income. So, they decided to rent out air mattresses in their apartment to the attendees of a nearby conference because all the local hotels were fully booked. They called this “Air Bed and Breakfast”. It didn’t take long before this small idea became the nightmare of all hotel companies known as Airbnb. Chesky along with his partners now have over three million different lists in almost 200 counties! The company is worth thirty-one billion dollars, which is more than Hilton, Wyndham and is nearing Marriott. With Airbnb still constantly growing there is no doubt that they will surpass all Hotel company worths it is just a matter of time. It is incredible to see how a small idea initially created to just bring in a small load of cash is now dominating one of the world’s most profound industries.
