Amid the solo travel trend, Airbnb is set to launch a new special feature for solo travellers in Hindi. The biggest concern about solo travelling is safety. Keeping that in mind, Airbnb is launching a safety feature. This feature will initially be available in English and Hindi. Airbnb plans to extend it in more languages while evaluating the Hindi extension results.
The in-app solo travel experience aims to make travelling solo on Airbnb safer.
