Ms Riina Sikkut Minister of Economic Affairs and Infrastructure Ms Külli Kraner Head of Business and Consumer Department 1 February 2023 Dear Minister Sikkut, dear Ms Kraner, My name is Gosia Kacprzyk and as a Public Policy Manager for Central & Eastern Europe with Airbnb I would like to introduce myself to you and wish you a happy and prosperous 2023! In 2022, tourism made a recovery. Guests are traveling again, looking for authentic stays and especially to discover off the beaten track destinations, thus dispersing the benefits of tourism both across the country and throughout the year, out of popular travel dates. Airbnb strives to be part of the solution to the economic challenges Europe is facing today. Airbnb allows everyday Europeans the opportunity to supplement their income during times of rising costs of living. According to our latest survey conducted, more than 40% of Hosts on Airbnb in the region say their earnings help them cover the rising cost of living and 46% of Hosts say that hosting on Airbnb helped them stay in - and afford - their home. Over the past years, we’ve worked with hundreds of public authorities across the region to provide data insights and regulatory solutions to help enforce fair and transparent short-term rental (STR) rules. We have recently shared our support for the legislative Proposal from the European Commission on data-sharing and reporting by short-term rental platforms as an opportunity for Airbnb to scale its regulatory collaborations EU-wide. You can find more on our position in relation to EU discussions here.

I look forward to our future conversations - I would be grateful if you can let me know when you or your team would be available for a meeting. Wishing you a happy and prosperous 2023! Yours sincerely, Gosia Kacprzyk Public Policy Manager Central & Eastern Europe Airbnb Germany GmbH Alexanderstraße 7 10178 Berlin Germany 2
