Airbnb revamps website, simplifies rules for travellers, hosts

Home sharing platform Airbnb Inc. has announced a major revamp of its platform to woo travellers and potential hosts as international borders start reopening globally. The company has revamped its site to make it user friendly and simple.

Flexibility has been identified as the top priority of travellers. Therefore, the upgraded site is designed to offer improved search flexibility for travellers, helping them to quickly find rentals near popular tourist destinations such as national parks. It will also offer filters such as properties with ocean view or whether it has a fireplace that is gas- or wood-burning.
