Airbnb Launches AI-Powered Group Booking Features

Airbnb’s Group booking features will reach all users, allowing people to create shared wishlists, and there are trip invitations for the group with details of the property.

Airbnb is introducing a few updates for group booking along with a new category called “Icons,” which are experiences hosted by celebrated names in music, film, TV and sports.

Nathan Blecharczyk, Airbnb’s Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, said, “The company built group features as more than 80% of trips on the platform involve more than one person.”

Airbnb’s latest feature also includes an updated Listings tab, giving hosts more control when creating and editing a photo tour to showcase their space. They have also added a simple way to quickly switch between the guest and host sides of the app.

Additionally, Airbnb is introducing Icons, a new category of extraordinary experiences hosted by the greatest names in music, film, television, art, sports, and more.

Brian Chesky, Airbnb’s Co-founder and CEO, said, “Icons take you inside worlds that only existed in your imagination—until now. As life becomes increasingly digital, we’re focused on bringing more magic into the real world. With Icons, we’ve created the most extraordinary experiences on Earth.”
