Airbnb is known to provide tourist and backpackers around the world with memorable experiences with many of its offerings. It launched the “Airbnb Experience” program back in 2016 to provide guests with unique tours that are carried out by the hosts themselves. However, with the ongoing pandemic-led lockdowns, the company had to shut down the “in-person” Experiences from April. Now, Airbnb is offering an “Online Experience” program that will take guests on virtual tours from their respective homes.
With a recent blog post, the tour-booking company launched the “Online Experiences” program that will provide guests with collaborative online virtual tours and help the hosts earn income during these tough times of global crisis.
To help the most isolated and at-risk population like the senior citizens of countries, Airbnb collaborated with local organisations for personalised Experiences to help them connect with the world and learn new skills from the comfort of their homes. The company partnered with organisations like SAGE, National Council on Aging (NCOA), Associazione Nazionale Alpini and Amigos de los Mayores to provide “Online Experiences” to the elderly population free of charge.
