Airbnb is introducing new services—including car rentals, grocery delivery, airport transfers, exclusive FIFA World Cup 2026 experiences, and designer hotels—to enhance every part of your trip.
Building on the launch of 'Airbnb Experiences' and 'Airbnb Services' last year, the platform has evolved beyond simple lodging. This summer, Airbnb is adding new service categories and exclusive experiences found nowhere else, such as unique access to the FIFA World Cup 2026. Designer and independent hotels will also be available for booking. On the app side, new AI-powered tools will assist in searching for stays, planning trips, and accessing support.
'Travel should be more than just convenient; it should be more meaningful,' says Brian Chesky, co-founder and CEO of Airbnb. 'The best trips allow us to encounter new versions of ourselves. This summer’s upgrade is designed to make every guest’s journey more captivating.'
