San Francisco/IBNS: Vacation rental Airbnb has hit a record high by booking close to 104 mln nights during the April through June period on the backs of strong travel demand.

In Q2FY22, Airbnb's adjusted earnings stood at 56 cents a share on a revenue of USD 2.1 bln, as per an IBD report.
This is 58 percent higher than adjusted earnings in the corresponding period last fiscal year, according to media reports.
On the booking front, Airbnb clocked a 26 percent jump in bookings during the April-June period compared to the previous year.
Airbnb said long-term travelling segment remains to be fastest growing due to rising acceptance towards remote travel.

Airbnb said its finds itself in midst of its strongest summer travel season.
The San Francisco-based company assured its investors that it was well positioned to handle whatever might affect the economy, BBC reported.
