Is Domestic Tourism Enough?

Amanpreet Bajaj, General Manager for India, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Airbnb

Is Domestic Tourism Enough?

The home-sharing economy was hard-hit by the pandemic, nearly halving Airbnb's valuation from $30 billion to $18billion, but as economies reopen can Airbnb emerge stronger from the crisis?

Roshan Kanesan spoke with Airbnb’s General Manager for India, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Amanpreet Bajaj, on their game plan in Malaysia and the region, the importance of domestic tourism, policy discussions with governments, and more.

This interview was pre-recorded before the imposition of the CMCO.
