Ahead of the Final Four weekend in Houston, Air BNB and the Houston Police Department (HPD) are offering safety and prevention tips to hosts and visitors.
More than 100 hosts attended a forum hosted by Air BNB, where experts were brought in to discuss how to prevent parties, property damage, and human trafficking during major events.
Air BNB’s Trust and Safety Director, Ben Breit, emphasized the importance of supporting hosts during the influx of bookings.
Despite the negative stigma sometimes attached to Air BNB, hosts like Micca Dave assure that the company is good and supportive of the community.
Local hosts in New Orleans made over $4 million when the Final Four was hosted there in 2022.
Those interested in becoming a host can find more information on Air BNB’s website. FOX 26 Reporter Gabby Hart spoke with officials about their efforts to increase safety awareness.
