Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Airbnb’s new services aim to streamline the travel experience, from booking rental cars and grocery delivery to arranging airport pickups and luggage storage. The platform’s local experiences offer a chance to explore destinations with local guides, while its boutique and independent hotels provide a more traditional hotel experience. With credits and discounts available for booking these services and hotels, Airbnb is trying to keep users within its ecosystem. And, as always, the promise of a unique stay, like a hobbit house in the Great Smoky Mountains, remains a major draw.
Authenticity is now scheduled by time slot.
