"Even though Airbnb is at $31 billion one of the most valu-able private startups in the world and offers more accommo-dations than the three largest hotel chains (Marriott, Hilton, and Intercontinental) combined, not all is smooth sailing. In particular, PESTEL factors discussed in this chapter are creating major headwinds for Airbnb. Take regulation, for example.
