What does this sentence actually mean?
“No hotel chain has more rooms than Airbnb has instantly bookable listings.”
The statement in the prior paragraph is that Airbnb has more rooms than the top 5 hotels combined…that is, Airbnb with 4M listings is bigger than the 3.879M rooms that Marriott, Hilton, InterContinental, Wyndham, and AccorHotels have combined.
Airbnb has fewer IB listings - 1.9M of them - which is still larger than the inventory of the largest hotel, Marriott with 1.158M rooms.
