The company sees the new service as a way to help its hosts earn money, as well as to give the public something to do while they’re stuck inside. Last week, Airbnb said it’s setting aside $250 million to help hosts affected by the coronavirus pandemic. 

Airbnb is also partnering with several charities — including two based in Spain and Italy, where the pandemic has hit especially hard — to provide free programming to older people. One of the organizations it plans to work with is the National Council on Aging (NCOA).

Is the premise of online experiences just a little bit goofy? Definitely, but once all this is said and done, it might inspire you to visit a place that hadn’t been on your bucket list. When it comes to hosts, while not every one of them will be able to take their experiences online, those that are able will likely appreciate the opportunity to make up for at least some lost income.

Notes, saved places and reservations will still exist in search as long as you sign into your Google account. You’ll “soon” have the option of adding or editing notes through the search site’s travel portal. you’ll also find things to do, saved places and (in the near future) trip reservations in the Maps app, and your bookings will automatically become available offline.

The switch-up is unfortunate if you liked having all your vacation info in one place. However, it’s not hard to see why Google might shutter Trips three years into its existence. Many of its once-special features are now available in a web browser or the Maps app you likely already have on your phone. There’s not much incentive to devote resources to a specialized app, especially when search and Maps offer more tools for adventurers.

Airbnb wants to make it easier to find work-friendly listings, and its solution is fairly simple. Before, the company would ask if you were traveling for business at checkout. Now, it’s offering an Airbnb for Work toggle that you can select at the beginning of your search. The feature will bring up listings that are more relevant for business trips.
