“We want to promote positive experiences for all those who host and travel with Airbnb. Achieving this goal starts with building the right products, policies, and teams to foster safe and reliable experiences. This work is stronger because of the support of our Trust and Safety Advisory Coalition partners like PACT, and we are grateful to them for their continued partnership.” —Tara Bunch, Global Head of Operations at Airbnb
