Airbnb announced on May 13 it is introducing new services and experiences that will be available to travelers in a redesigned app.

The updated app includes a brand-new “services” tab with 10 different categories. These services will be available in 260 cities around the world, aiming to give Airbnb users the kind of perks you’d usually expect at a hotel or resort.

Airbnb’s commission on each service and experience booked using the platform is 15 and 20 per cent, respectively.

Now, 17 years after the service "changed the way people travel," according to Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, the company is launching bookable hotel-like services. These revamped Airbnb experiences will allow travelers or locals to explore destinations through a totally redesigned Airbnb app.

Brian Chesky's vision for Airbnb’s future includes a new app, cooking classes, massages, and Chance the Rapper.

Airbnb also relaunched its Experiences platform, rebuilt from the ground up to make it easier to see your favorite city in a whole new way. The goal is to ditch the cookie-cutter tourist traps and let travelers connect with locals who know their cities best.

Airbnb brings a massive app revamp that offers new features to look forward to, including new social and AI experiences.

The tech company is rolling out a completely revamped version of its app with unique experiences and services, and social networking features that are reminiscent of the early days of social media.
