# Solar Eclipse Accommodation Contests The Airbnb Solar Eclipse Stay Celebrates the Monumental Event By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-08-06 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-eclipse-stay References: [uncrate](https://uncrate.com/article/solar-eclipse-stay/) & [airbnb](https://www.airbnb.ca/night-at/solareclipse) The impending total solar eclipse will be the first that will be seen in the United States for the first time in 99 years, so the [Airbnb](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbnb-3) Solar Eclipse Stay is being promoted by the brand to offer two lucky guests the ability to experience unlike any others. Created in collaboration with [National Geographic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bushs-beans-national-park-foundation), the Airbnb experience starts with having guests spend the night prior in a geodesic dome situated in rural Oregon with a night sky photographer and an astrophysicist. The day of the event will have the guests board a private jet to experience the total solar eclipse from a completely unique viewpoint. The Airbnb Solar Eclipse Stay is not available for purchase and is only available to one lucky winner who can bring a guest with them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Solar Eclipse Hospitality:** The need for unique and immersive experiences during the solar eclipse presents opportunities for the hospitality industry to create specialized packages and events. - **Astro-tourism:** The solar eclipse serves as a launching pad for astro-tourism, presenting the opportunity for travel industry players to create out-of-this-world experiences. - **Collaborative Marketing Campaigns:** Partnering with other brands to create unique experiences such as the National Geographic and Airbnb collaboration can be a powerful marketing strategy. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can capitalize on the solar eclipse craze by offering specialized packages and events. - **Travel:** Astro-tourism presents an opportunity for the travel industry to attract a new kind of traveler. - **Marketing:** Partnering with other brands to create unique experiences can serve as a powerful marketing tool for companies to reach new audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pop Culture-Inspired Rentals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbnb-3.md) - [Space Exploration Hotel Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uplift-aerospace.md) - [Community-Based Eclipse Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-eclipse.md) - [Solar Eclipse Voyages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-cruise-voyages.md) - [Film-Inspired Whimsical Rental Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/icons-program.md) - [Animated Film Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbnb-smurf-experience.md) - [Icon-Led Travel Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbnb-icons.md) - [Whimsical Theater-Driven Stays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elphabas-retreat-airbnb.md) - [Eyewear Eclipse Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warby-parker-solar-eclipse.md)
