Airbnb revolutionizes travel: launch new services and offers!

Airbnb today announced a major redesign of its platform to significantly expand what it offers users. As part of this redesign, Airbnb will integrate additional services and experiential excursions to differentiate itself from traditional hotels. In the future, users will not only be able to book accommodation via the app, but also request massage therapists, hair stylists and professional chefs. This expansion aims to offer a complete package of accommodation and services.

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky emphasized the need for this change. “Hotels offer services that we haven’t had before,” he said. The new services will be offered in 260 cities and across ten categories, which also include fitness trainers and photographers.

Extensive services for every need

Airbnb's revamped app, built from the ground up, now brings together accommodations, services and experiences. Users can access the new services both during their stay and at home. This makes it possible to reach customers outside of Airbnb accommodations. Providers such as private chefs with Michelin star experience are available to users.

The pricing is promising: the new services start at under 50 USD (approx. 46 EUR). In addition, a verification process has been introduced for service providers that ensures that they have an average of ten years of professional experience. This creates a certain level of trust in the quality of the services offered.

Special experiences under “Airbnb Originals”

A special highlight of the new offers are the “Airbnb Originals”. These experiences, which feature celebrity hosts such as NFL star Patrick Mahomes and singer Sabrina Carpenter, are intended to offer users unique and unforgettable experiences. Possible options include special cooking workshops, museum tours or sporting events led by locals.

The Airbnb share reacted positively to the realignment and temporarily rose by 2.91 percent to $ 138.12. With over 2 billion guest bookings since its founding in 2007, Airbnb underlines its enormous market presence. Brian Chesky sees the move to combine unique accommodations with high-quality services as a logical development of the platform.

Overall, this redesign of Airbnb shows that the company wants to adapt to the competition in the hotel sector while at the same time creating an attractive offer for travelers. The improved app allows users to find services and experiences tailored to their destination and travel group.

The opportunity to apply for the new program is already available for service providers and experience providers via the Airbnb website. Through these measures, Airbnb not only aims to increase customer satisfaction, but also to stimulate its growth in the highly competitive travel industry.
