AirBnb is the world's largest accommodation sites. Up recently you would have heard the word AirBnb on many social media platforms and many instagram influencers, but we are here to tell you what is actually is .
The way AirBnb works is very unusual and different from the conventional workings of a hotel. In case of a hotel, it’s a designated place for you to get a room or suite for any number of days you wish to, BUT in case of AirBnb, it is an accommodation that let’s you live in the lodgings of the hosts
A host in terms of an AirBnb means someone who lets you rent their house.
When travelling, a big hindrance faced by people is the task of finding a good hotel or Inn, that is close to all sorts of sights and marketplaces, somewhere which is not secluded from the rest of the place.
With AirBnb, you can look up online onto all the people who have put up their lodgings as AirBnb, settle on a price, directly with the host and set your camp.
In addition to holiday cottages, apartments, homes, and more, Airbnb also offers unique experiences where you can go on interesting tours with knowledgeable locals. Their experiences are unlike normal tour packages and can range from going out to a club with a local techno lover or learn how to make chocolate with a chocolatier within their home.
This business Model is very much in the trend these days and has been attracting a huge share of tourists and making them change their conventional ways of staying at dingy hotel rooms.
