No Borders

For 50 years, a 90-mile divide was much more than that. Now, through Airbnb, there are over 4,000 Cuban micro-entrepreneurs are sharing their homes, their stories and their lives with Americans.

What started out as a pitch idea quickly turned into a real brand opportunity when the US Government announced the lifting of the trade embargo against Cuba.

What better way to prove that Airbnb believes in a world where all 7 billion of us can belong anywhere than to be the first American hospitality brand to operate in Cuba in over 50 years?

Not only would it allow Americans the opportunity to meet, stay and learn from their neighbors. But it opened up a new economic opportunity for many of Cuba's micro-entrepreneurs.
