Good points @Huma0
I don't offer 'experiences' as such separately but have my listing including local experiences not only amongst Nature and plenty of local activities for those venturing to a different location enjoy - they are attracted to my listing in part because it stands out with my photos.
I've had people choose my listing because of the photos who are dyslexic as it's easier to visual and interpret.
Guests will choose a place based on their own needs and desires and the type of person they want to be with and trust and have a safe trip.
I also know from feedback in person from my Guests they choose my home because I offer a wide range of delights and experiences of Living like a Local.
At the moment travelers from Europe who are here on Working Holiday visa's are wanting a knowledgeable welcome to a foreign land to assimilate into our communities.
Today a group of my former international Guests, (German and Italian) together with my current guest ( a lady from France) and I and their new found friends from overseas and I are meeting up for a Dog Date with my friends dogs and dinner.
Should I offer that, as a paid experience?
No, I won't, to me it's part of 'Little things mean a lot' and welcoming those who are in Nieuw Zealand and my home for whatever reason and esnure they are not lonely and have other like minded people they can contact and meet up with when they want as they all have someone (staying in my home) and something in common.
Will @Brian and @Catherine-Powell consider those factors as part of their overall business model?
The reality is, us local hosts and longer term Hosts and others value those as part of our day to day living.
I notice in Remuera we know have Dog water bowls around the place with 'Woof, Live, Local', written on them, perhaps I should offer that too so people know there's Dogs out their to have a moment or two with along their travels.
Whilst I appreciate that some will want accommodation expressly for summer activities - beaches, swimming pools, etc or winter wilderness and snow activities, perhaps that's why ABB have now included Seasonal roll outs for those wanting such places.
It goes back to education and ensuring young one's and those living in countries where 'Climatic change' is a very serious issue, learn that the Earth is not flat, and that once upon a time the Four Seasons existed in many parts of the world, just like trees are not dead in certain seasons...and don't need to be cut down.
