Skift Take
This time around, Airbnb wants to make its experience more affordable and more unique to Airbnb. It also wants to merchandise them differently than last time around.
After pausing the acceptance of host signups for new experiences for around a year-and-a half, Airbnb has deleted subpar experience listings, and re-opened the application process.
“Weâre delighted to be once again reopening submissions for new experiences,” a spokesperson told Skift Wednesday. “Our aim is to provide guests with a diverse, unique selection of experiences that authentically reflect the culture and community of cities around the world. As Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky mentioned in our latest earnings call, weâre excited about the future of Experiences and look forward to sharing more soon.â
Airbnb confirmed the experiences reboot after a LinkedIn user saw a prompt to host an experience.
