Airbnb was born as a community platform offering a service where homeowners from anywhere in the world can rent out their homes or rooms for travelers to stay in. Users can then visit the website and book the accommodation.
But as of last week, Airbnb is no longer just an app for staying in private homes. It's taken a huge leap forward: now, through Airbnb, you can plan activities with its latest update called "Experiences."
Experiences is a section of the website where you can book an entire trip. The different adventures are displayed on the website like a movie poster, to give the traveler a spotlight and, well, make your trip feel like a movie. In this section, you can book experiences organized by people who live in the place you're traveling to and thus experience firsthand the purest experiences unique to the place. These "adventures" come in a wide variety of forms: sports, charity events, nature, shows, food, and art.
This way of traveling can be very interesting for those who don't want to be a traditional tourist, visiting the most popular sites or the famous places suggested by tourist guides. With "Experiences," you can learn about and experience what local professionals do .
There are 2 ways to use this new Airbnb feature:
- Be a host . If you have a passion you'd like to share with anyone interested, you can organize an experience in your city to let people know what you do. A host can be a mountaineer, a chef, a volunteer working for a cause, or simply someone who knows the legends of their area and can teach others the secrets of their neighborhood. The host can organize a short experience lasting hours or a full experience lasting days. Whatever suits your needs best!
- Be a traveler . If what you want is to get to a place and have someone there show you things a guidebook doesn't, this is the perfect place for you. By indicating the place you want to go, you'll be able to see the experiences the hosts organize and choose the one you like best.
We can define this new identity of Airbnb as an alternative travel agency with a host of leisure and cultural activities organized by the citizens themselves .
A marvel for those not looking to be a tourist, but rather to experience the culture and way of life of those who know the place best: the locals.
