Solo traveling has become quite popular in the last few years. In fact, 58 percent of travelers now want to travel alone. The privacy, the ease of travel, and the chance to discover new territories on your own are something everyone wants. However, staying safe is a major issue that such travelers face, and Airbnb has launched a new feature to help solo travelers stay safe.
About Airbnb
The American firm, Airbnb, Inc, operates an online marketplace for travel-related services and accommodations, particularly homestays for outing rentals. Using Airbnb—which stands for Air, Bed and Breakfast—property owners rent out their rooms to visitors looking for a place to stay. It is a reliable website for lodging accommodation, and people across the globe use it for safe stays and a homely feeling.
Airbnb’s Safety Measure
Nowadays, the trend of traveling alone has grown rapidly; but so has the worried about staying safe. Keeping this in mind, the company has released new in-app features for such travelers. The new in-app tools will be available to solo travelers who reserve a private or shared accommodation on Airbnb.
The Features
When Airbnb accommodations are activated, the app will also provide safety advice. It will share advice from experts on preventive measures one can take to stay safe.
Additionally, travelers will have the option to provide a friend, member of their family, or another trustworthy individual access to the specifics of their booking schedule so they may be contacted in case of an emergency. The listing address, reservation code, and check-in and check-out dates are included in that information. However, this would work when the users specify emergency contacts so that Airbnb can contact someone on their behalf if the situation demands.
The travelers can now also ask questions to the host beforehand about the place they will be booking.
These features will help solo travelers enjoy their stay without constantly worrying about their safety.
