Airbnb CEO says there's an 'Amazon-sized' market for selling experiences

SAN FRANCISCO – Forget tourist traps selling T-shirts or snow globes. There's an "Amazon-sized opportunity" in selling people experiences, says Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky.

 “There’s going to be another economy, and it will be the experience economy. You’ll see these modern-day, bite-sized apprenticeships, where you’re exposed to something new,” said Chesky in an interview with USA TODAY.

Airbnb's Experiences program, introduced to great fanfare in 2016,  was designed to meet the desires of its traveling customers to immerse themselves in an activity during their vacations, be it taking a calligraphy lesson, learning a traditional Malay dance or writing a song with a band leader.
