Vacation rental platform Vrbo announced Tuesday, the day before President-elect Joe Biden is to be sworn in as the 46th president of the United States, that “all new” reservations would be blocked ahead of the inauguration. 

The decision came “based on updated guidance provided by government officials regarding security threats, and as part of ongoing efforts to protect the safety of travelers, partners and communities,” Vrbo said in a Tweet Tuesday.
