Airbnb Expands Frontline Stays Initiative to
Thailand
|
Airbnb has expanded its Frontline Stays initiative
to Thailand.
Launched to help house healthcare professionals,
relief workers, and first responders around the world, the company
is now looking to assist COVID19 key workers in Thailand by
providing them with safe and convenient places to stay while they
carry out their critical work.
Airbnb is encouraging its existing hosts in
Thailand to offer accommodation to these key workers for free, and
is actively looking for more hosts who would like to play their
part by offering somewhere for these brave men and women to stay.
If hosts are not able or simply unwilling to host for free, Airbnb
says it will waive all fees on the stay - but only up to 100,000
stays globally.
Mich Goh, Head of Public Policy (Southeast Asia),
Airbnb, said, “The Airbnb community has a long history of providing
accommodation to those in need when the worst happens. Amid this
global pandemic, we at Airbnb recognize that medical workers are
at the forefront of saving lives and we are committed to working
with our community to do whatever we can to support them. We’ve
been inspired by the generosity of Thai hosts and nonprofits who
have reached out to us seeking ways to support their frontliners.”
