The company cites reduced bookings in the region as a key factor weighing on second-quarter revenue expectations.
Airbnb expects slower growth in the second quarter due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The company highlighted a decline in bookings across the region, which has impacted its revenue outlook for the period.
Prior to the conflict, Airbnb had projected steady growth, aligning with broader travel industry trends. The Middle East had been a high-growth market, with bookings rising year-over-year before the escalation in tensions.
No immediate market reaction was specified, but analysts note potential downside risks to earnings estimates if the trend persists.
