Airbnb expects to double bookings to 80m this year, say investors
San Francisco
AIRBNB is expected to double its nightly bookings this year, investors familiar with the company's performance said, a sign that the home and room renting site's battles with regulators have yet to dent its rapid global growth.
The website is expected to have about 80 million nights booked this year, up from about 40 million in 2014, according to the investors, who declined to be named. Airbnb does not disclose nightly bookings and would not comment on the figure.
