Airbnb attacks: New services for every day in 260 cities!

260 Städte, Deutschland - Airbnb has expanded its business area considerably and will in future not only focus on the imparting of accommodations, but also on services and experiences. The company enables users to book a variety of services such as massages, hair stylists, professional chefs and catering services via the app. This step marks a significant further development of the platform, which now goes beyond the traditional booking of overnight stays.

The new offer is introduced in 260 cities and initially includes ten categories, including fitness trainers, photographers and various experiences such as museum visits, riding excursions and cooking courses. Airbnb's CEO, Brian Chesky, emphasizes that Hotels have so far offered services that Airbnb has not had in the portfolio, and aims to close this gap. The vision is the use of the app not only for travel, but also for everyday services in the place of residence of users.

Expansion of the app functionalities

In order to integrate the new offers, the Airbnb app was extensively revised. In the future, users will receive personalized suggestions based on their bookings. In addition, providers who want to offer services must apply, whereby the selection is based on experience and reviews. Airbnb raises a fee of 20 % for experiences and 15 % for services, which should strengthen the monetary basis of the platform.

The possibilities for users to use the platform for local services significantly expand the areas of application. Analyst Carolina Milanesi sees this development a potential rethink regarding the perception of Airbnb on the stock exchange. Nathan Blecharczyk, co -founder of Airbnb, also expresses itself optimistic and believes that services may be a larger business than overnight stays.

technology and user experiences

To improve the user experience, Airbnb relies on machine learning to identify problems early and report unwanted interactions. This should help to ensure a safe and pleasant use experience. The expansion of the portfolio could not only position Airbnb as a platform for travelers, but also as a valuable resource for the local population.

With these innovations, Airbnb shows that the company endeavors to revolutionize the way in which people use travel and local services. The coming months will show how this change will affect the user base and the growth of the platform.
