Evening news on December 13, Beijing time，According to foreign media reports，Airbnb, a travel home rental platform, stated today，By the end of this year，The company’s cumulative tourism and occupancy tax payments to the government will reach $2 billion。In addition，Airbnb also settled lawsuits in most U.S. cities, including Boston and Miami。

Without a doubt，This move helps pave the way for Airbnb to go public。Airbnb plans to go public next year，For this，The company is taking appropriate steps to pay the tax，And cooperate with local governments。Airbnb said，72% of B&B 188bet app bookings in the United States require payment of travel or hotel taxes。

Adhering to strict regulations could weaken Airbnb’s business model，Especially as cities around the world seek to enact laws regarding vacation rentals。For example，In Boston，Airbnb had to remove thousands of listings to comply with new regulations。

But Airbnb said，Clearly clarifying the regulatory regulations for the homestay industry will help the development of its business。For example，After the San Francisco city government implemented new regulations in January 2018，Airbnb deleted nearly 5,000 customers。But one year later，The number of B&B rooms listed in San Francisco increased by 22%。

so far，The sharing economy model has not yet been welcomed by public market investors。For example，Uber and Lyft have struggled since their IPOs (initial public offerings) earlier this year，And WeWork had to withdraw its IPO application，And seek financial assistance from SoftBank。

Airbnb said，Based on non-GAAP，The company has achieved profitability in 2017 and 2018。current，The industry generally believes that Airbnb may choose to go public directly next year，Instead of IPO。
