Airbnb unveiled its much-anticipated experience offering on Tuesday. Airbnb will add more options for large attractions – particularly through guided tours — though there remains a focus on niche, curated, and locally run experiences.
A new service product was also launched by the company, allowing consumers to add hotel-like features to their Airbnb. These services are not just for tourists: local residents can order them as well.
Airbnb announced it would invest $250 million, and Brian Chesky had previously spoken about the goal of starting businesses that generate $1 billion in revenue per year. These new offerings do they tick the box?
Below, we explore both of these options in greater detail.
