Airbnb has sent safety advice about the 2016 European football championships to its customers.
It advised customers to follow the advice of the French Ministry of Home Affairs about the event, which kicks off tomorrow.
The Ministry has launched an application with real-time information on ongoing security alerts, safety tips, and what to do in case of an emergency.
Airbnb said the app will be particularly useful to travellers staying in one of the host cities – Paris, Saint-Denis, Nice, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Saint-Etienne, Marseille, Lille, Lens or Lyon.
Earlier this week, the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office warned of a high threat from terrorism during the tournament.
"Due to ongoing threats to France by Islamist terrorist groups, and recent French military intervention against Daesh (formerly referred to as ISIL), the French government has warned the public to be especially vigilant and has reinforced its security measures," it said.
"During Euro 2016, stadiums, fan zones, venues broadcasting the tournament and transport hubs and links represent potential targets for terrorist attacks. You should be vigilant at all times, especially in areas hosting Euro 2016 events, and follow the advice of local French authorities."
