Airbnb is upgrading its app to include luxury services like private chefs, massages, and personal trainers, available in 260 cities starting under $50. This expansion aims to compete with hotels by offering customized experiences alongside its short-term rentals. The revamped app also features an updated experiences tab with bespoke tours and activities, and an "originals" tab offering exclusive events, reflecting a growing tourist demand for unique travel experiences.
