I spent all summer traveling across Europe and staying at AirBnBs or with hosts on other hospitality-exchange platforms. I met a lot of other travelers on the road and some touristic spots were packed. There appeared to already be widespread corona fatigue; people just stopped caring about the virus and were willing to travel nevertheless. Yes, some countries imposed border restrictions and quarantine requirements, but those really only affect people flying directly from country X to country Y, while for overlanders it was trivial to evade those restrictions. Ordinarily I wouldn't have used AirBnb so much, but if ordinary establishments in various towns had already chosen to close for the long term due to corona, AirBnb suddenly seemed like an attractive prospect. So, I can see the company doing well even with a second wave, unless (something which I feel is unlikely in many places) governments re-institute a hard lockdown even in the face of public corona fatigue and resistance. |

Guess what? Two weeks later Prague area has been declared a Red Zone (at least for Germany) so if you want to travel there you must quarantine when you are back.
