Uber has not necessarily established itself in China, whereas with the space industry, we know that on a global scale, it has done very well, in 2014, Airbnb saw over 55 percent of its listings in Europe alone and this has then carried on and it has become a global business.

Uber is not just hedging its bets on the transport industry per say, it’s also looking to evolve its business, but we are also seeing Airbnb looking at providing for businesses travelers, so I think we will see greater growth through that as well.
