Airbnb became the 14th sponsor to join the TOP programme when it secured a nine-year deal worth $500 million (£386 million/€452 million) with the IOC in 2019. Founded in 2008, the San Francisco-based company believes the deal is designed to create a “new standard for hosting that will be a win for host cities, a win for spectators and fans, and a win for athletes”. Hundreds of thousands of new Airbnb hosts are set to provide accommodation for the next five Games until 2028. A key part of the sponsorship includes the launch of Airbnb Olympian Experiences, where travellers will be given the opportunity to train with elite athletes or explore a city with them. Airbnb’s quarterly net income from July to October 2021 was $834 million (£640 million/€767 million), making it the first time since the same period in 2020 that the company had shown growth during the COVID-19 pandemic.
