一、Airbnb于24号上午正式宣布，将正式关闭中国的本土业务。

这个消息冲上了微博热搜榜第一。活着的时候没咋上，死了的时候倒是上了热搜榜。

一方面是本土化不够彻底，不咋像国内APP做大量推广，另外一方面这种旅行方式在国内还不是主流，受限于道德水平和法律水平，房客和租客的纠纷不断让这个预订软件还局限于一些小众群体。但这丝毫不影响Airbnb在粉丝心中的地位和全球的行业地位，Airbnb仍然是是全球最大的民宿预订软件平台。

这次Airbnb将和中国的粉丝和用户们说byebye了。Airbnb后续将下架所有中国大陆本土的房源信息，这意味着无论是中国大陆居民还是外国居民，以后都不能预订位于在中国大陆的房间了。

国内仍可使用该软件平台，预订国外的房源，不过在目前严格限制出境的情况下，很少有人可以出得去和承担高昂的机票费用，等于是国内业务全部停止了。作为一家预订平台来说，这基本和全部退出没啥区别。

和最近国内几家互联网公司大幅裁员相呼应，目前消息是裁掉中国本土的大部分员工，如果国内房源全部下架，只需要保留少量的数据中心运维、客服人员即可，甚至不需要保留，东南亚的华语国家也可以替代这部分岗位。

三、关于Airbnb

Airbnb 创立于2008年，于2014年在国内设立小规模团队，2015年在中国市场开展业务，2017年3月底定下了名“爱彼迎”作为品牌和产品的中文名称，也即正式以一家本土化公司的身份，在中国提供在线短租服务。

翻译：

One, airbnb officially announced on the morning of 24th that it will officially close its local business in China.

The news topped the list of trending searches on Weibo. Not much in life, but trending in death.

On the one hand, the localization is not thorough enough, and it is not promoted as a large number of domestic apps. On the other hand, this travel mode is not mainstream in China, and due to the moral and legal level, disputes between tenants and tenants keep restricting this booking software to some minority groups. However, this does not affect the status of Airbnb in the hearts of fans and the global position of the industry, Airbnb is still the world’s largest home booking software platform.

This time Airbnb is saying goodbye to its fans and users in China. Airbnb later removed all local listings from the Chinese mainland, meaning that both Chinese and foreign residents will no longer be able to book a room located in mainland China.

The software platform can still be used in China to book rooms abroad, but under the current strict restrictions on leaving the country, few people can go out and bear the high cost of air tickets, which means the domestic business has stopped altogether. As a booking platform, that’s pretty much the same as quitting altogether.

Echoing the recent drastic layoffs of several domestic Internet companies, the current message is to lay off most of the employees in China. If all domestic housing listings are removed, only a small number of data center operation and maintenance staff and customer service staff need to be retained, or even do not need to be retained. Chinese-speaking countries in Southeast Asia can also replace these jobs.

Third, about Airbnb

Airbnb was founded in 2008, set up a small team in China in 2014, and launched its business in the Chinese market in 2015. At the end of March 2017, it named “Aibiying” as the Chinese name of its brand and product, which means that it officially provides online short-term rental services in China as a localization company.
