Airbnb ends offer of stay at Great Wall

Company says members of public concerned about protecting relic

US home-sharing platform Airbnb has suspended a plan to provide lodging on the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing amid concerns that it could damage the ancient structure.

The company said on Tuesday that it will not move forward with the original plan out of respect for public opinion, though the event - known as Night at the Great Wall - had been given a nod by relevant parties.
