Since the COVID-19 pandemic changed the world back in March 2020, both big and small businesses have had to get creative in order to survive. Travel companies, like Airbnb, really stepped up and changed their platform for the time being. Airbnb Experiences have always been a great way to see a destination through the eyes of a local. Now that most people are at home and prohibited from traveling, several Airbnb Experience hosts have pivoted to virtual experiences.
Online Airbnb Experiences are a great way to get creative at home, learn more about another culture, or to just have fun. I’d even recommend them as a perfect gift idea at the moment! Also, Airbnb Experiences recently partnered with the dating app Bumble because they believe these experiences can be fun, virtual date ideas too.
