Airbnb’s Rural Bootcamp

Unlocking the power of rural tourism

Rural tourism has never been more appealing with more and more people yearning for tranquility and nature. Airbnb’s Rural Bootcamp is designed to help rural communities seize this budding opportunity by preparing to welcome new guests when the time is right.

Through a series of partnerships and Host education programs, Airbnb’s Rural Bootcamp will help unlock access to the hospitality and tourism sector by giving individuals and organisations the toolkit they need to thrive on the Airbnb platform as Hosts (homes and experiences).
