By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Airbnb is capitalizing on the 2026 FIFA World Cup by offering hosts a $750 incentive to open their homes, a program that has seen significant uptake among women. These women hosts now represent the majority of active hosts and bookings, with many earning thousands of dollars during the tournament. This initiative provides a financial boost, particularly valuable during a cost-of-living crisis, and aligns with cultural perceptions of women as natural nurturers and hosts. AI
