The successful concierge service was previously limited to only making capital from a traveler's accommodations. However, with the potential to take a cut from all the aspects of a trip -- 'Journey' takes care of every detail. Journey offers a fixed-price trip that includes the previously mentioned basics. The service also offers a local resident who acts as a tour guide -- taking visitors to the coolest party, hippest restaurant and favorite holes in the wall. By providing this custom tailored trip, those who find figuring out what to do in a new city overwhelming are provided for. Currently tested in San Francisco, the new trip-planning app opens Airbnb up to a larger market with more room for business. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **All-inclusive Travel Apps:** There are opportunities for developing travel apps that offer more than just accommodations by including transportation, meals, and local experiences. - **Custom-tailored Trip Planning:** There is potential for creating trip-planning apps that allow for personalization and customization of travel arrangements for each individual traveler. - **Local Resident Tour Guide Services:** Developing apps that offer personalized tours by local resident tour guides is a potential opportunity for those in the travel industry. ### Where This Applies - **Travel and Hospitality:** Developing an all-inclusive travel app or a custom-tailored trip planning app could be a great opportunity for new businesses in the travel and hospitality industry. - **Mobile App Development:** As more and more users prefer to use mobile apps for travel planning, there are opportunities for entrepreneurs in the mobile app development industry. - **Tourism:** Incorporating local resident tour guide services into travel planning could be an innovative approach for the tourism industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comprehensive AI Trip Planners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-trip-planners.md) - [Instant Accommodation Bookings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/online-travel-agent.md) - [AI-Powered Trip Planners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-trip-planners.md) - [Detailed Travel-Planning Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/80daysme.md) - [Personal Assistant Travel Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origin-curated-travel-app.md) - [AI-Powered Travel Planning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-ai-trip-creator.md) - [Dream Trip-Planning Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martee-travel-planning-app.md) - [AI-Powered Travel Booking Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartrip-ai-travel-assistant.md) - [Insightful AI Travel Planners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tripadvisors-trips.md)
