So it seems celebrities and B list actors can host new experiences again now

And they're shoving things like that down your throat on the front page, but us mere mortals still have no ETA, while Airbnb focuses on (ruining) their core business.

 

What's the deal?

@Bar2 It does indeed seem very strange. I just do not understand why Airbnb is not making any comment on. when (or if) they will restart experiences for the masses.

Fortunately there are lots of high traffic channels you can advertise your events  business on;  locally, nationally and internationally @Bar2 as well as your own marketing channels.

 

Airbnb's core offer is not experiences - it is and always has been it STR marketing platform .

 

But you are right it's annoying that they won't say whether they are being discontinued. Just as they are sneakily doing away with their SH status for hosts but not telling anyone.

We are marketing on GYG and Viator with less success than we had on Airbnb. Any other suggestions?

Do some market research for your business to see where those you've identified as your target market look for trips .

 

Put together a marketing plan and budget to promote your business through your own channels and by advertising on places like your local tourist board trip advisor and lonely planet to name few @Bar2
