While city expansion drove demand, we also grew our attach rate within cities tripling the number of US guests booking an Experience alongside a home.

Today, over 30,000 Experiences are available around the world. In 2016, Experiences launched with roughly 500 experiences.In 2018, the number of seats booked on Airbnb Experiences increased nearly 7x, year over year.In a recent survey conducted for Skift, “69 percent of respondents said they would rather spend more money on better activities than a nicer hotel room (31 percent),” and 65% “want to come back having experienced something new,” versus 35% saying they “want to come back feeling rested and recharged.”Īirbnb Experiences are meeting that demand, offering a new way for people to experience a destination or the city they call home: We know travelers are looking for new, unique things to do when they hit the road.

Today, we are offering a series of updates regarding the growth of Airbnb Experiences, along with background on the different kinds of Experiences that are proving popular with travelers. From walking with wolves in LA to listening to live jazz in a repurposed London shipping container, Experiences go beyond typical tours or classes by immersing guests in each host’s unique world. More and more of these travelers are choosing to participate in an Airbnb Experience as part of their trip, and increasingly, locals are using Airbnb Experiences to explore the cities in which they live.Īirbnb Experiences immerse travelers in local communities around the world by offering one-of-a-kind activities that are handcrafted and led by local experts. To achieve this goal, we are investing in creating new businesses that will power our growth over the long-term.Īirbnb has an unrivaled global community of hosts and guests: We can connect travelers to more than 6 million places to stay, and there have been more than half a billion guest arrivals in Airbnb listings.
