Airbnb cofounder and chief strategy officer Nathan Blecharczyk has told Bloomberg TV Asia that that its future lies in “becoming in a platform for the entire trip.”
When asked about the vision for Airbnb over the next five to ten years, he said:
“The biggest evolution of the strategy is to become a platform the entire trip, so no longer just about the accommodation, really trying to reinvent every aspect of travel.”
Its only product other than accommodation is Airbnb Trips – which Blecharczyk described as “experiences”. He said that, by helping individuals to share their passions ,Trips “allows people to travel more authentically, which is what we are about as a brand, so as we enter other aspects of travel, we’ll be doing that.”
