Airbnb Experiences - Airbnb expands beyond rentals — now hosting Experiences

I am confused - havent they been doing this since quite some time? You always received an email after booking a flat "Things you can do" and those were activities provided by AirBnB users

Well played Airbnb! Love it

Great idea. Can't wait for international expansion! :)

Really interesting play by Airbnb. Competition for Vayable, WithLocals, EatWith etc it seems. It doesn't appear to be live yet though - there's no where you can browse experiences is there?

Went on one which was a photography session in Toronto with a professional photographer (with only 2 other "students". The host was very friendly, generous with his time, knowledgeable, and I learned a lot.

In cities, even in places you've lived your whole life, it's often really hard to find interesting activities. AirBnB experiences are presented in a beautiful UI from an already reliable web platform, and there's a lot to choose from. Makes a great gift idea too. Only thing is that they can be expensive.

Pros:

Curated experiences with verified reviews from verified users, friendly and generous hosts who aren't as focused on profit margins

Cons:

Expensive, may be limited options depending on location

Interesting! I wonder if they'll announce it 🤔

clever, but not new of course >> https://www.quora.com/What-compa...

I wonder what Mark Cuban thinks about this considering his recent Rent Like a Champion investment on Shark Tank?

Great to meet and mingle with the locals. Can't wait to see how successful​ it's.

Airbnb expanding into tourism - this is huge. Doing it at a host level is the selling a night on your air bed early concept abstracted to experiences. Very very cool.
