Airbnb rolled out a new “split-stay” booking feature in May in response to consumers’ shifting demand for post-pandemic travel. Will Airbnb’s new booking feature become a game-changer in the lodging industry?
How does Airbnb’s new split-stay feature work?
Airbnb will allow travelers planning a trip of one week or longer to divide their stays between two different homes (Pohle, 2022). This new feature is particularly useful when a home has limited availability for one long-term stay or when a traveler wants to try different homes during one stay. Using such a new feature, travelers will generally see about 40% more listings in a search.
