Fairbnb Aims to Be the Responsible Version of Airbnb

While travelers love using Airbnb, it has received bad press over the years from those that say short-stay rentals are not ethically sound, making housing unaffordable in certain areas or displacing people who want to live in the neighborhood. Fairbnb wants to change that. The start-up company, which has been in the works for three years, is similar to Airbnb in which they have a home-sharing model. However, they've built responsible tourism directly into their operations and policies to make short-term rentals positive aspects to the communities in which they are located.
