The Abu Dhabi administration has reached an agreement with the home-sharing website Airbnb to expand the city’s tourism offerings. Airbnb allows individuals to rent out their homes, offering visitors and travellers an alternative to hotels. Airbnb will include a ‘responsible hosting’ page on its website as part of the agreement, which will clarify the local requirements for vacation homes in the region.
