• The Hotel Association of New York City has never been accused of being a shrinking violet, but its latest move has really caused a furore. An in-your-face anti-Airbnb advert with all the subtlety of a bull in a china shop uses scare tactics to suggest that any Airbnb apartment could potentially be harbouring a terrorist.
Citing the Manchester terror attacks is certainly an emotive, some might say insensitive move, particularly by a New York-based organisation.
It also has an element of swimming against the tide about it, particularly when seen against the backdrop of major hotel chains acquiring short-term rental companies and integrating them as part of their offer rather than adopting a 'them and us' stance. Accor and Wyndham are just two that spring to mind, with their recent acquisitions of Onefinestay and LoveHomeSwap.
One would also imagine that Airbnb has pretty deep pockets when it comes to legal fees, and will be monitoring ads such as these with a hawk-like vigilance. The battle lines are certainly drawn in the Big Apple.
