Airbnb’s special in-app experience is enabled for independent travelers when they book a private or shared room. It starts with providing travelers with expert advice on staying safe when traveling alone. Now the same feature will also be available in Hindi. A key part of this special Airbnb feature is the ability for individual travelers to easily share their booking itinerary with others.

This special Airbnb feature helps solo travelers answer pre-trip questions and better understand their surroundings. Primarily, this new feature helps promote a safer travel experience.
Other in-app products, such as a 24-hour security line, are available to all travelers during active booking periods. If customers feel unsafe, they will have priority access to specially trained security guards, day or night. The local emergency services feature is available 24/7 to all users, with or without an appointment. With the push of a button, this feature quickly connects users to local emergency services. Each user will have the ability to add emergency contacts to their profile.
