Since going public, most of the news out of Airbnb has been around policy. Today, the company has an announcement that’s all about the product.
As the pandemic evolves the way we do everything, and we collectively realize that much of that new behavior will be permanent, tech companies are looking to evolve alongside us.
Airbnb is today introducing Flexible Search, which will allow users to forgo putting in exact dates when they look to book lodging on the platform. Instead, users can search for a weekend getaway, week-long vacation, month-long vacation or months-long vacation without setting specific dates.
Not only does this give guests more options to browse through, but it should also increase exposure for hosts.
