CALinnovates Statement on "Morally Repugnant" Ad from the Hotel Association of New York City

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In response to an advertisement paid for by the Hotel Association of New York City, technology advocacy organization CALinnovates issued the following statement:

"It is morally repugnant to suggest an Airbnb connection to terrorism, just as it would be to tie the hotel industry to 9/11 simply because those terrorists stayed in hotels as they prepped for the attack. Let's keep the debate between the hotel and home sharing industries to the merits, and not stoop so low as to exploit fears over terrorism." – Mike Montgomery, Executive Director of CALinnovates
