Virus hotspot Sao Paulo is the first destination in Latin America chosen by Airbnb as part of a global push to revive its business as authorities ease coronavirus-related restrictions on tourism. Airbnb will have an exclusive page on Sao Paulo state’s destinations in its platform and will also share with the local government data and information on what is happening elsewhere in the globe.
In 2019, Airbnb has had an economic impact of 10.5 billion reais in Brazil, including the entire chain such as restaurants and shops. The company does not break down Sao Paulo numbers.
