Airbnb partners with Financial Crimes Investigators to combat travel scams

This partnership follows new consumer research from YouGov, commissioned by Airbnb, which revealed that Gen Z and Millennials are the most likely to have fallen for travel scams, with victims losing an average of Rs 1,02,233.

The research highlights that the rising cost of living has led almost half of Indian travellers to consider being less cautious when booking a vacation if it results in saving a significant sum of money. Over 40 per cent of Indian travellers would take a risk to save money, even if they believed a deal was too good to be true.
