The first of these changes is the addition of Airbnb Categories. The company wants to make it easier for users to discover destinations that interest them , even when they are unexpected.
The company maintains that the typical way to search is to type in a destination and choose dates in the search box. However, we only enter places that we know, when there are accommodations on Airbnb in 100,000 towns and cities around the world.
This new way to explore is designed around Airbnb Categories. There will be 56 different categories to organize all accommodations , based on their style, location or proximity to an activity to do during the trip.
As you move from one category to another, the map will intelligently zoom in to show travelers where the accommodations are located. To create this, the platform evaluated millions of homes through machine learning to analyze titles, descriptions, captions, host information, and guest reviews.
Examples of Categories are: location (beaches, beachfront, private homes, Greek houses, countryside, deserts, famous cities, lakes, national parks, tropical or vineyards) or activities (camping, golf, skiing or surfing).
Combined stays
The second change is Combined Stays, a new feature that allows you to combine two qatar number data accommodations in one trip . For example, when searching for a specific destination, these will automatically appear in the results, also within 14 categories to give travelers new ideas when it comes to longer trips.
Combined Stays are represented on the map with an animated line connecting the two properties so that travelers can visualize the distance between them and the sequence of stays is clear.
