Taking a trip doesn’t simply involve making a reservation at a standard hotel anymore, and for many, it also doesn’t simply include booking a traditional Airbnb apartment.
These days, travellers are looking to have an experience. They want to have their minds blown and dazzled by adventure and unconventional living spaces.
Are you an Airbnb host looking for ways to make your holiday home stand out from the crowd? Read on to discover these three exciting and innovative hosting ideas that will absolutely wow your travel guests and leave with them unforgettable life-long memories.
The Shipping Container Home Experience
Over the last several decades, repurposing shipping containers into livable homes has become an exciting trend for architecture lovers and folks looking to escape to the mundane.
Repurposed shipping containers are the perfect Airbnb experience because of their portability; you can move them anywhere (with a legal permit, of course), from somewhere remote in the beautiful Illinois’ Hardin County to the trendiest Chicago neighbourhood.
Plus, you can decorate your container home any way you like, while maintaining the sleek; modern container architecture that so many people love to see.
Find an online company where you can buy containers and have them delivered easily to wherever you need them to be, and then begin the transformation process.
People will love the idea of staying in a recycled container and are bound to give you a great review for originality; and innovative design and aesthetics!
A Tech-Free Getaway
For those travellers who really want to escape their everyday lives; the idea of a tech-free vacation would be more than inviting.
Contemporary society depends so much on the instant communication of text, social media, and emails. Give your guests a break from it all and offer them a few days of peace and quiet. Consider banning cell phones (or at least, provide limited access), computers, and any other technological device.
This type of scenario is best offered in a location surrounded by nature; as the objective would be to experience Mother Earth in all her glory without all the beeps; and vibrating interruptions of modern technology!
The Culture House
Somewhat opposite to a tech-free getaway, an Airbnb designed specifically to promote local culture would attract people looking for a unique vacation full of food, entertainment, and more.
If you love your town or city, offer guests an opportunity to experience everything it has to offer by giving them access to guided tours, current museum exhibits, tips on the best restaurants, and anything else your hometown is known for.
Be sure to partner with local arts and culture groups to provide guests current information on what’s happening when they’re in town; and arrange for anything that showcases your area, such as wine tasting tours or local heritage events.
Your guests will be forever grateful for your hospitality; and by taking time to learn more about your city or town’s cultural scene; you might even discover parts of it that you didn’t even know existed.
You don’t have to live somewhere tropical or ‘exotic’ to create a memorable Airbnb experience. All that’s required is a little imagination and some hard work. Use these three hosting ideas to start your own journey today!
