If you need a place to stay for the World Cup, there are still plenty of rooms available. Hoteliers and Airbnb proprietors in a majority of host cities have said that bookings are surprisingly way below[https://links.morningbrew.com/c/PgB?mblid=769c68fbbfb0&mbcid=45616400.3866819&mid=4f6b62fa9056480e78a9bfa7d66d271c&mbuuid=X8ha6hD9FHpc6ffwVeVAgEgV] expectations, with the matches only about a month away: * Per a survey from the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), 80% to 90% of hoteliers in Kansas City, Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Seattle are trailing behind a typical summer. Some industry insiders are calling the World Cup a “non-event.”
* Seven in 10 respondents said that geopolitical and visa concerns are keeping international fans away. *Airbnbs aren’t faring much better.* Only one host city (Boston) has reported that more than 50% of Airbnb rentals were booked as of late April. That’s despite Airbnb offering a $750 bonus for new hosts during the tournament. /-- Morning Brew/
