How to make your Airbnb Spaces Inclusive  As a DEI professional, I need to mention how we can make our Airbnb inclusive and welcoming to everyone.   Listing Just like how we advocate for job description to be inclusive, please make your listing description inclusive and use gender neutral terms when writing it. Communication Do not assume a guest's gender based on their names or appearances. Always ask a guest their pronouns and use the right pronouns in written and spoken communication with them.   Space Do not put any religious symbols or items in your home, example bible etc. Not everyone coming into your space share the same religion as you.
