![]() Chesky says that he expects that it will be another few years before Airbnb Experiences becomes a major component of the company’s overall business model as the property rentals currently are. However, most of the Experiences business is just starting to gain traction. Across the platform, guests pay an average of $55 per booking. ![]() In comparison to the Airbnb property business, Chesky says that Experiences is growing at a pace that is roughly 13 times faster than the Airbnb rental property business was at the same time.Īs far as earnings, Chesky reported at Airbnb Experience’s social impact experiences brought in $500k in 2017. So far, the platform has benefited Airbnb because they have been allowed to operate the Experiences platform in cities where there are significant restrictions or even outright bans on Airbnb property rentals.Īccording to CEO Brian Chesky, as of October 2017, Airbnb Experiences had growth 12x in size from January 2017. However, it was soon expanded to include major cities around the world. The platform originally launched in New York City in 2016 with an inventory of 150 Experiences. This is especially true if the Airbnb Experience involves food, alcohol or transportation. However, one thing that both platforms have in common is that hosts on either platform may be required to obtain a business license. Airbnb Experiences hosts also are free to host as often as they like with no maximum hosting restrictions. To host an experience, Airbnb Experiences hosts don’t have to host overnight guests at a property. In fact, Airbnb Experiences appeals to group travelers, as well as, solo travelers.Īirbnb Experiences is a separate service on Airbnb from Airbnb property hosting. While some travelers use it to meet new people others use it as a way to discover local activities while traveling. The platform doesn’t only serve a single market. In fact, they are designed for anyone that uses the Airbnb platform to share their creative passions with the world. They are more than just traditional guided tours or classes. They are led and inspired by locals in each area. Airbnb Experiences are activities that are designed to engage guests during their stay in a particular location.
