Airbnb Bullish On SEA Growth Momentum

How sustainable is this growth momentum and how much does the Southeast Asian region contribute to Airbnb's fortunes? We discuss the outlook for the short-term rental market in Malaysia and the region with Amanpreet Bajaj, General Manager for Southeast Asia, India, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
