Experiences are resurging, driven by Airbnb’s renewed push, Marriott’s outdoors strategy, and rising consumer appetite for local and curated activities. This webinar examined whether experiences can finally become a mainstream and reliable revenue stream for STR operators.
We discovered:
- The current state of the experiences market and why 2026 could be a turning point for STR involvement.
- The true ROI of offering experiences, from margin structures to time investment and guest lifetime value.
- Which guest segments engage with add-ons such as families, adventure travellers, remote workers and wellness travellers.
- Whether to build experiences in house or partner with platforms such as Viator, GetYourGuide, Holibob or local providers.
- Operational considerations including liability, guest safety, staffing, upsell timing and integration with PMS and guest apps.
- Case studies of operators who are successfully selling add-ons today and what makes their approach scalable.
- The future of Airbnb Experiences and whether the model can scale in a sustainable way.
