This is not your classic all-inclusive holiday. This rising trend will take the extra work out of trip planning by helping to pair travellers with local guides and authentic (and usually unique!) experiences via their lodging. More hotels and bookable stays like Airbnb are offering creative opportunities for their visitors to reserve pretty much everything in one place without skimping on local connections and cultural experiences.
Where to go: Airbnb recently launched their series of Airbnb Experiences, which is a real game-changer. So far, you can book activities involving animal interactions — like sheep tea parties or stand-up paddle boarding with corgis — and adventures such as Northern Lights hiking in Norway with a local guide. Oh, and you can book cooking experiences, too.
