The company, Airbnb,
now allows customers to buy gift cards for its short-term rentals platforms.
The VP of the company, Mike Curtis announced at the company’s conference that
you can now give the gift of Airbnb!
It was also revealed that
there are new tools for hosts that make it easier for them to set prices and
get the exact types of bookings they want.
Gift cards are available
on Airbnb’s website and are sent to recipients via email, though you’re able to
personalize the looks of the gift cars with a variety of different travel
photos. The credits don’t expire and can be used at any of the company’s
listings around the world!
The new personalization
tools for hosts aim to make it easier for them to get bookings. They include a
new price recommendation feature called price tips, which will begin rolling
out soon.
The company recently
wrote in a blog post, “You’ll be able to get
personalized, daily pricing information right in your calendar, so you can see
how adjusting your price could increase your chances of getting booked, or take
advantage of strong interest in visiting your area.”
Finally, Airbnb is doing more to
personalise search results based on the preferences of the host. Some hosts
prefer more frequent, but shorter stays, while others prefer less frequent but
longer stays.
Airbnb will now take these types of
preferences into account when surfacing search results to travelers – so search
results for two days in Paris and two weeks in Paris may turn different sets of
results.
So, give the traveler in your life a
Airbnb gift card and put the world at their doorstep!
