Tuesday, November 8, 2016
Wayne Cook (Partner, New York Office) was quoted in an article published by the New York Business Journal titled "Airbnb: New bill hurts millennials the most as property listings in N.Y.C. decrease." The article discusses the impact of Airbnb on the hotel industry. Wayne's comments:
- "The bill [that Cuomo signed] shows the power of the lodging industry," says Cook , believing it should be modified. When it comes to hotels and Airbnb, "they are two different markets," he added.
- "Airbnb users are mostly millennials who either don't want to spend $350 a night for a full service hotel, or simply can't afford it."
