Airbnb, online marketplace and hospitality service, recently announced the launch of its new Trips platform in New Delhi, adding 15 bookable local experiences to the thousands of homes available to stay in.
Speaking on the launch of Trips in India, Brian Chesky, CEO and Head of Community of Airbnb said, ?Trips is the most significant development in the history of Airbnb. We?re expanding beyond accommodation, but taking the same people-focused approach to the entire trip. I?m excited to launch India Trips today as we?ve handpicked unique experiences, designed and led by locals, to reflect the diversity and variety of the city. Airbnb Trips will offer locals and visitors alike the chance to immerse themselves in the people, places and experiences that make the city unique.?
Launched in November 2016, Airbnb Trips currently has over 800 active Experiences available, with bookers from over 73 different countries giving 91 percent of Experience bookings a 5-star rating.
Trips brings together where you stay, what you do and the people you meet all into one place, and is all powered by locals.
For visitors, Trips is a way to experience a different side of the city, immersing themselves in communities through the eyes of locals.
Within the Trips platform, Experiences offer unprecedented access to local passions and interests guided by the people who make communities unique. While Places include recommendations from local experts on the hidden gems that only locals know about, Meet Up events offer a chance to socialize with locals and other travelers.
With 15 Experiences, now available and more rolling out in Delhi in the coming weeks, travelers can experience the journey of a couture ensemble with celebrity designer duo, Shantanu and Nikhil, at their Delhi workshop, see how to build a better community with Clothes Box Foundation or learn how to drape a sari in twenty different ways.
