Airbnb recently added a new way for travelers to find exciting destinations: Categories.
Categories allow users to choose accommodations based on more than location, although some – like national park and beach options – are related. Others have names like “OMG!” or “Barns”.
The OMG! The category includes accommodations that are distinguished primarily by their unusual character.

Participants must submit their proposals by July 22. The company will evaluate proposals based on several factors: feasibility, originality, sustainability and customer experience.
Winners must meet the following requirement: Rent the completed spaces on Airbnb for at least one year without listing them on other short-term home rental websites.
According to the company, the average American host earned over $13,000 last year, 85% more than in 2019. Accommodations that deserve OMG! status received 49% more bookings.
In more recent news, Airbnb has made its previous party ban permanent.
Initially, the company created a temporary ban in response to a deadly shooting at a party in one of its listings. They left the ban in place when COVID-19 swept the world.
The ban on parties has reduced property damage in rentals.
