to build the silliest, wackiest, and perhaps most fun homes in the world. The initiative is called the"OMG! Fund," and it's got people talking. Creativity comes in all shapes and sizes. Just browse the OMG! Category and you'll find our collection of the quirkiest homes on Airbnb. If you have a jaw-dropping idea of your own, send it our way. You might just get $100K from the OMG! Fund to put toward your offbeat build," says Airbnb on their website.
To inspire people, the site even features some examples like a big potato house, a yellow submarine dwelling, and a two-floor bus. The initiative is part of the firm's huge redesign launched in May.The company is aiming to have people book vacations and trips not merely according to location but also according to housing.
"We're in 100,000 cities. Very few people can think to type in more than 20 places [into a search bar]," Brian Chesky, CEO of Airbnb,."So what happens? Everyone ends up going to the same places. Everyone goes to Vegas and Miami and New York and Paris and Rome and London." But what if people were to choose a destination not for its overall criteria but because of the specific house it features? That's what the OMG fund will aim to do. Build homes that are so unique and inspiring they are worth traveling for.
If done correctly, this initiative could get Airbnb a lot of business. After all, you can book hotels for the most popular destinations from many websites, but you can only book these original homes from one website: Airbnb.AdvertisementStay ahead with the latest science, technology and innovation news, for free:
