Ski season is just around the corner, and while there are amazing mountains all over the world, some are becoming more popular with travelers than others.
According to data from Airbnb's 2024 Winter Release shared on Wednesday, October 16th, California's Big Bear Lake is the top ski destination for this year. This southern California town has 2 major ski resorts: Snow Summit and Bear Mountain.
Following Big Bear Lake are Breckenridge in Colorado, Whistler in Canada, Tromsø in Norway, and Chamonix-Mont-Blanc in France. California's Mammoth Lakes, which has both June Mountain and Mammoth Mountain, is in the 6th spot on the list of the 10 top ski resorts this year. Park City is 7th and Steamboat Springs in Colorado is 8th.
Beyond skiing, travelers in the United States are searching for winter trips to Tokyo, Osaka, and Aruba, while domestic trips to Indianapolis are also proving to be a popular option.
Airbnb has introduced several updates to make booking travel easier. The company has suggested destinations based on a traveler's search and booking history. In addition, Airbnb provides search tips, such as recommending extending a trip to take advantage of a host's discount.
Airbnb has also redesigned its search filters to be more personalized, based on a traveler's history and current search parameters. Tara Bunch, the global head of operations at Airbnb, stated the following:
"We're making it even easier to book travel on Airbnb. Through updates like suggested destinations and personalized listing highlights, we're personalizing our app, bringing a guest's unique travel needs to the forefront of their search."
Moreover, Airbnb is streamlining the checkout process for returning customers, providing "key details at a glance." The company is also making it easier for new customers to navigate the app with a new welcome tour.
These updates aren't the first Airbnb has made. Earlier this year, the company introduced a new Icons category, featuring amazing stays and experiences around the world. Last year, Airbnb launched a redesigned ratings page, including features like review sorting.
