Airbnb<\/a><\/strong>, the biggest name in the hotel rental market, has this week made a huge announcement. Sharing details of their latest venture, it appears the brand is heading into a new sector; air travel. Planning to open their own airline in the very near future, this comes as part of their plans to offer a ‘one-stop-shop’ for the world’s travel needs. Having arguably monopolised the holiday rental market; can Airbnb<\/a> mirror their success with this new business?<\/p>\n

The announcement was made by Brian Chesky , the 36-year-old billionaire founder of Airbnb<\/a>. Talking to the Sunday Times<\/em>, he explained how this is not a random venture but something that has been in the business’ plans for many years.<\/p>\n

“We’ve seriously considered a lot of things around aviation and we’ve spent a lot of time exploring different concepts. We definitely want to make sure, though, that we can get into the end-to-end trip business” he says.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Looking to continue their success story with a next chapter, the business came from humble beginnings. The idea behind Airbnb<\/a> came to Chesky after he rented mattresses to three strangers in his San Francisco apartment. Spotting a gap in the market for a modern hotel and apartment rental service, Airbnb<\/a> was formed. Having evolved into one of the biggest technology companies in the world, Airbnb<\/a> now owns the platform to create something even bigger, eager to follow in the footsteps of household brands such as amazon.<\/p>\n

“Of all the big tech companies, the way Amazon has approached building their business to a one-stop shop for shopping is probably most similar to what we’re trying to do.<\/p>\n

“We’re trying to be a one-stop shop for travel” Mr Chesky added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Can this venture take off?<\/h3>\n
