Brian Chesky, chief executive of AirBnB, said the lines between business and leisure travel are increasingly blurring thanks to remote working patterns.

The way people travel has been changed forever by the pandemic, the boss of lodging platform AirBnb has said.

"I think that what we're seeing today is an entire revolution in how we're travelling," Mr Chesky said. AirBnB was hit hard when the pandemic struck, losing about 80% of its business in a matter of months. In the US, extended weekend bookings by families on AirBnB were up 70% in the second quarter of 2021 versus 2019.
