Airbnb<\/a> has launched an exciting new feature for event-goers and organisers; one that will help find listings near to a venue. The new tool, called Airbnb<\/a> for Events, allows event planners to create their own interactive maps on a specially created landing page on the Airbnb<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

Created to cover a wide range of events, from weddings<\/a> to business exhibitions, using the new Airbnb<\/a> for Events section will\u00a0simplify\u00a0the search for nearby venues, further putting pressure on the hotel industry.<\/p>\n

New online services<\/h3>\n

Various additional services will be embedded into the new Airbnb<\/a> for Events feature, covering everything from city guides to ticketing services. Already signed up to the feature include; WeddingWire,\u00a0RSVPify, Insider,\u00a0Inspirock,\u00a0Taquilla\u00a0and\u00a0Picatic.<\/p>\n

For example, online wedding planner, WeddingWire will allow people to send wedding invites via their website. Now synced with Airbnb<\/a> for Events, guests will also receive details of property rental listings nearby.<\/p>\n

As well as the significant commercial benefits Airbnb<\/a> will gain from the new feature, Airbnb<\/a> for Events will also help improve relations between the online marketplace<\/a> and the cities they service. Offering services that help increase tourism in a particular city can be mutually beneficial.<\/p>\n

Airbnb<\/a> explained:<\/p>\n

“We know cities often don’t have capacity to handle sudden or expected surges (resulting from events), so today we’re launching our new Airbnb<\/a> for Events tool to offer event organisers and conference planners the ability to create an interactive map of Airbnb<\/a> listings that are near their venues and embed the map directly on their event website in just minutes.”<\/p>\n

Whilst a unique new venture for the brand, this is just the latest in a series of updates from Airbnb<\/a>. With various competitors gathering momentum for their hospitality solutions, Airbnb<\/a> are diversifying their portfolio on what seems like a weekly basis.
