Airbnb Lets Users Export Listings to Rivals as It Checks Out of China

Airbnb Inc. will help facilitate the transfer of its Chinese mainland rental listings to some of its rivals, as the U.S. firm ends most of its business in the local market.

In a Friday statement, the California-based homestay and hotel-booking giant said that it had signed agreements that would allow homeowners doing business on its Chinese platform to apply to move their personal information, property details, operating data, ratings and reviews to Chinese domestic home-rental platforms such as Meituan Homestay, Xiaozhu, Tujia and Fliggy, a unit of Alibaba.
