We operate globally, with opportunities to rent thousands of amazing spaces all over the world. Guests can choose rentals in thousands of cities in hundreds of countries, spanning the Asia Pacific, the Americas, Europe, and Africa. With Abnb, the sky's the limit—literally!

Need

The transformation of the economy through technology is catching people by surprise; anything tangible that an individual could just dream of owning, is now within reach, and an individual can hire it and use it for limited period depending with his financial ability. Thanks to the arrival of the sharing economy which has changed the dynamics for the better. These changes in the technology are available in platforms such as Uber and many others who are revolutionizing the way individuals can access (May, Königsson and Holmstrom, 2017).

Abnb connects people from all over the world and offer a platform where everyone wins. The host can make money or make contact to people with similar interest as them. Travelers gets a wide range of possibilities to relocate at different price levels all over the world. Hosts will act like a local tourist agency and the traveler will live like a local in the specific area they travel to. This kind of service in offer is in its early stage and the market is huge. Abnb comes to the market with a platform that allows users to add anything they want in the future to help people connect and travel at the same time

Architecture

Key Elements

The key elements of ABNB website are the Guests who rent the spaces and the Hosts who offer their space for rental.

Guests

Guests can rent a space directly from a host for a day, a weekend, a week, or even a

month. By searching rental opportunities by city, and fine-tuning their search for what

they're looking for and when, guests can browse hundreds of available spaces, see descriptions of listings, and view photos of properties.

Guests will spend less than traditional hotel accommodations, feel more at home, and

enjoy a unique, one-of-a-kind living space. By renting a house or apartment (or a

designer loft or a caravan), you'll absorb the local culture, meet people with similar interests, and enjoy an experience that's a far cry from a traditional hotel room stay.

Hosts

Hosts can rent out their spaces whenever it suits them: while they're on holiday, away

on a business trip, or even full time if they want to make a business out of providing

space to guests looking for unique experiences. Simply upload your rental information

on Abnb’s easy-to-use site and upload photos of your space. It's as simple as that.
