Airbnb tests booking your entire trip with new ‘Journeys’ service
"Airbnb is testing a major new offering: taking care of booking your entire trip, so you can experience a new city with locals showing you around.
Over the weekend, Airbnb started sending beta invitations to some users who had searched for accommodation in San Francisco during December but hadn’t booked yet:
We’re reinventing travel—again—and we’d love you to be a part of history. During the first two weeks of December, we’re piloting a new Airbnb experience: handcrafted trips. We’re extending a limited number of invitations to friends of friends and travelers who are excited to explore the city of San Francisco in an entirely new way – with the locals who live here.
It invited those users to test its new Journeys service which touts 'handcrafted trips' to cities around the world, starting with San Francisco, offering adventures in the city organized by Airbnb for a flat fee.
For those who got the beta invite, Airbnb is offering 3 or 5 day excursions based on their interests."
