I wonder if it has even once occurred to the hotel industry to fight Airbnb by improving their services instead of through legislation?

What would you tell them if they came to office hours? (I can't think how they would compete)
The same thing I said to Airbnb: go talk to your users! If you're losing business to Airbnb, find some users and ask them why.

As a user, I'd say it is price at the low end and cool places/locations at the high end. Dunno how I'd compete as a hotel.

By contrast, had taxis done an app early on, they probably could have beaten or contained Uber/Lyft.

Better yet host conversations with customers who express the likelihood of using airbnb. There's some pain in there waiting to be addressed.

In many cases, it's probably price. In some markets, hotels just can't compete on that.

There might also be room for innovation. What could hotels begin to offer that Airbnb hosts couldn't?

That is a very interesting question that almost certainly has answers. And yet notice how novel it sounds...
