About Us
Airbnb, the San Francisco-based online marketplace and hospitality service brokerage company, is offering a tour of its headquarters with a company employee as a tour guide.
The $24 tour offer first appeared on the site in late 2017 and is considered as one of Airbnb's 30,000 "Experiences" listings.
Airbnb visitors can opt for either a day-time tour or a night-time option with dinner on campus. They will be asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement before the tour.
Visitors also will get a glimpse about the company's culture and philosophy in 1.5 hours.
According to Jessemin Sheyda-Losick, Airbnb's social impact experiences lead, the tours provide visitors the opportunity to get a view on where the Airbnb team works to achieve their mission where anyone can belong and to learn more about nonprofits making a difference in the world.
Airbnb's social impact experiences enable hosts to partner with nonprofits to create meaningful interactions for local and global causes.
Whether you're a volunteer, employee, or community member of a registered nonprofit, you can create an experience that supports your cause. Nonprofits must be registered with the company's validation partners.
Airbnb is now accepting hosting applications nationwide. Read the Entire Article
