About the Team

Avito Travel is a leading service in one of the fastest growing markets in Russia. We have assembled the largest database of tourist accommodation in the country: apartments, rooms, houses, and hotels. Currently, the platform offers more than 500,000 options for daily rentals across the country, all connected directly — without partnerships or intermediaries. For 75% of property owners, Avito is the primary source of bookings. In addition to private properties, we offer our users a choice of more than 19,000 hotels.

Our goal is to make short-term property rental the primary way to travel across Russia. To achieve this, we need to make searching and booking accommodation transparent, fast, and secure. We must ensure the quality of properties listed on Avito, guarantee financial security for both parties, provide guests with occupancy guarantees, and offer property insurance for landlords.
