US-based property rental company Airbnb has announced new features, including a translation tool and expanded insurance for hosts.

The features, aimed at facilitating rising cross-border travel and longer stays, may help Airbnb further capitalise on a pandemic-driven shift in consumer preference towards non-urban destinations and alternative accommodations, according to the company.

Overall cross-border travel has risen to 33% of gross nights booked in the third quarter, compared with 27% in the second and 20% in the first Q1 of 2021, Airbnb said.
