According to AirBnb's boss, the pandemic has changed the way people travel forever.

Brian Chesky stated to the BBC that the lines between leisure and business travel are becoming blurred due to remote working.

He said that people are choosing to spend longer time with friends and family as they seek "human connection".

"I believe that what we see today is an entire revolution of how we travel," said Mr Chesky.

"We used to live at one place, our house. Now we travel to another place, the office. He added that all three places now converge."

"All we can believe is that employers won't force employees to return to work five days a weeks to see that nothing has changed."

AirBnB suffered a severe blow when the pandemic hit, losing approximately 80% of its business within a few months.

However, Mr Chesky stated that demand has increased strongly since last summer while consumer behavior had changed.
