The American accommodation reservation application, in which the host can advertise their properties, known as Airbnb released its updates and new tools that benefit both the tenant and the tourist.
(Routes for local and responsible tourism that Airbnb promotes in Colombia).
One of the novelties is Aircover, which consists, first of all, in guaranteeing an insurance to the host that protects him from damage to his property. In this case, the tenant will receive US $ 1 million in the event of an accident that compromises their property. You will also have access to social responsibility insurance for the same amount.
This benefit also covers loss of income, damage caused by pets. As well as allowing faster refunds. Another novelty of the app is the function of certifying the quality of the WIFI network by the host.
“Our new speed test tool is verified through an advertisement”the company explained.
(What travelers who rent on Airbnb are looking for and cannot find in hotels.)
This update is mainly due to the fact that Airbnb found that 86% of Colombians want to maintain a remote or hybrid work model and 31% show interest in working while traveling, so an Internet connection is necessary.
On the other hand, the application allows users – hosts and travelers – to translate ads in 60 languages without the need to click on the translation buttons, but rather automatically. Airbnb also enabled, this time, communication between people who want to rent for the first time, or who have doubts, with superhosts, so that the latter can give them advice, in relation to offering their services.
Regarding reservations, the platform extended the time for users to search up to more than 12 months, and included new types of stay such as: off-grid, snow skiing, luxury and unconventional houses. Lastly, the travel tab was redesigned with more details of the property.
