The company is expanding with new offerings, including co-hosting, a revival of “experiences,” and enhanced guest services
Aug 7, 2024
Airbnb framed its upcoming offerings as a strategy to diversify its revenue streams and establish itself as more than just a short-term vacation rental service.
Key takeaways
- Later this fall, Airbnb will introduce co-hosting, a service designed to connect homeowners who don’t have time to manage their listings with people who do but don’t have a property to list;
- The company also hinted at the return of “experiences,” a feature that originally allowed guests to book local activities, tours, and other experiences near their accommodations;
- Earlier this month, Airbnb told Bloomberg that it was exploring ideas like personal chefs, massages, and mid-stay cleanings as part of its “in-home experiences” initiative to attract customers who might otherwise opt for hotels.
