According to Airbnb's latest data insights, more than 80% of bookings worldwide are for multi-person travel. In China, the popularity of multi-person trips with three or more people is also on the rise. That's why Airbnb is launching new features to make it easier to plan trips for multiple people:
- Share a wishlist : Now you can easily share your wishlist with your companions, invite them to add notes, vote for your listing, and adjust your travel dates and guests. When you share a listing with others, the Airbnb app suggests a wishlist to add to the listing, which you can share and customize.

The simplified design integrates all host-guest interactions and user support messages, making it easier to search for messages. Emoji responses allow guests and hosts to respond using emojis, and AI helpers help hosts answer frequently asked questions more quickly.
- Invitations to the itinerary : Artists around the world have helped us draw digital postcards that you can send to other people and invite them to join you in the itinerary you booked. Anyone who joins the trip will be able to see the full reservation details, including the full address, Wi-Fi password and check-in instructions.
From now on, users around the world, including users in Chinese mainland, can browse the "Ace" series and use the new multiplayer travel feature.
