Posted 10 January 2018:

Airbnb is partnering with the Association of Independent Hospitality Professionals, a nonprofit trade organization of independent hospitality professionals, and ThinkReservations, a reservation management system for B&Bs.

An Airbnb spokesperson said that in addition to providing international marketing muscle, Airbnb charges boutique hotels and BnBs far less than the 15-30% commissions they have to pay to OTAs.

What next from Airbnb? Stay tuned.
