Airbnb Adds New Services

Airbnb, the popular short-term rental platform, has announced significant changes to its app. The company is now offering luxury services such as personal chefs, massages, and trainers. These new features aim to combine the space of Airbnb rentals with the services typically found in hotels.

The redesigned app includes an updated experiences tab for booking tours and activities, a feature first introduced in 2016. Additionally, a new originals tab offers exclusive experiences with celebrities, like playing volleyball with an Olympian or spending time with a football star.

These new services will be available in 260 cities initially, with prices starting below $50. Interestingly, even non-Airbnb guests can book these luxury offerings. This move reflects the changing preferences of modern travelers who seek customized and unique experiences during their trips.
