\n The holiday letting giant is rethinking its strategy by refining properties on offer and introducing new experiences.
\n ADVERTISEMENTAirbnb is one of the world\u2019s most-used rental sites but it\u2019s stirred anger and criticism from tourism boards, residents and travellers in recent years.\u00a0Several destinations have cracked down on the proliferating number of accommodation rentals including Florence and Barcelona to try and stem local housing crises.Some of the company\u2019s marketing stunts have also missed the mark. Most recently, Airbnb offered guests the chance to be a gladiator in Rome\u2019s Colosseum, which was derided by locals and officials as \u2018Disneyfying\u2019 the ancient monument.\u00a0Now, the holiday letting giant is rethinking its strategy including refining the properties on offer and introducing new experiences.\u00a0Airbnb sees rise in bookings in 2024Despite the growing concerns over its contribution to overtourism, Airbnb\u2019s popularity continues to grow.\u00a0Bookings during the summer quarter of 2024 rose by eight per cent to 122.8 million compared to last year.\u00a0More holidaymakers are using the app to find accommodation; the proportion of mobile bookings rose by five per cent this year.\u00a0The homestay company has been working to improve its app, with 50 upgrades since October to make it more personalised and accessible to first-time users.\u00a0Airbnb also reported a rise in first-time bookers, particularly younger travellers.Airbnb ups local payment currency optionsAirbnb has attributed some of its increased bookings to the introduction of more local payment options.\u00a0You can now pay in the local currency of countries including Vietnam, Denmark and Poland.\u201cWhile our timing and investment level vary by market, our strategy is consistent: make Airbnb local and relevant,\u201d the company said.\u201cBy spring 2025, we expect to offer nearly 40 local payment methods across five continents.Airbnb removes hundreds of \u2018low quality\u2019 listingsThe company has also become more selective in its holiday rental offerings.\u00a0It said it had removed over 300,000 \u201clow quality\u201d properties from the site after they failed to meet guests\u2019 expectations.\u00a0ADVERTISEMENTTravellers\u2019 stories of sub-standard rentals and hosts\u2019 unreasonable cleaning demands often hit the headlines.Airbnb is also seeking to reduce the number of cancellations by property hosts. Although this doesn\u2019t occur frequently, the company called it a \u201csignificant pain point\u201d for guests.\u00a0Airbnb to expand beyond accommodationAirbnb also announced it would be expanding \u201cbeyond accommodation\u201d next year, although it did not specify details.\u00a0This may relate to the Airbnb experiences offerings which were launched in 2016 but didn\u2019t see great success. These are activities that tourists can sign up to such as local food tours or adventurous excursions. Due to their declining popularity, the company halted new sign-ups for experience hosts last year.\u00a0ADVERTISEMENTTravel website Skift has speculated that Airbnb could relaunch experiences and market them to locals, not just travellers, and incorporate ticket sales for major attractions like the Louvre.\u00a0Other offerings may be tied into property rentals by offering at-home experiences like massages or dinners cooked by a private chef.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
