The new look Airbnb Experiences

Connecting Beyond the Stay:

Airbnb's Experiences Get a Social Refresh

Airbnb has long been synonymous with unique homes, but their Experiences platform has just received a major new look, focusing on making travel as much about the people as the place.

The latest update rolls out exciting new social features designed to foster genuine connection among guests. Gone are the days of meeting fantastic people on a local cooking class and never seeing them again!

Here’s the short scoop on what's new:

• "Who's Going": Before you even book, you can see who else is signed up for an Experience and where they're from. This is a game-changer for those who want to feel more comfortable or seek out like-minded travelers.

• Direct Messaging: You can now request to message other participants you meet on an Experience directly through the app, helping you stay in touch and maybe even plan your next adventure together.

• Connections in Profile: Your profile now tracks the people you've met during past Experiences, creating a simple way to reconnect with your new travel friends.

It's all about deepening the travel experience. By building a community within the activities, Airbnb is making a strong push to be the platform for unforgettable travel moments, connecting cultures, and forging new friendships, one local experience at a time. The new features give you control over your sharing, ensuring a comfortable and connected journey.
