Airbnb is a brand that has revolutionized the rental home market, and now the company wants to take its accommodation services one step further and allow consumers to receive recommendations and touristic suggestions through an app called 'Airbnb Trips.' The platform is structured to offer guidebooks, places to eat and lists of activities to do in the area that the guest is staying in. The service hopes to provide a much more well-rounded stay for guests that goes beyond simple recommendations.
The 'Airbnb Trips' app works in conjunction with the Airbnb rental service, giving consumers something to do while they are staying at Airbnb accommodations. The service promotes exploring the area from a tour guide perspective, with the app acting as a central hub to coordinate everything through.
