Hello everyone,
Hospitality has been around for centuries and accommodations may have adapted over time but the essence of the guest-host relationship of extending a welcome and a home away from home, to adventourist travellers, hasn’t changed. Every day in the Community Center we see Hosts sharing their experiences, tips, and knowledge for providing great hospitality. As the heart and soul of our community, we’d like to come together and have discussions, and share stories and tips about what has brought us here: hospitality.
From Aug 30th - Sept 2nd we will see the return of our 3rd annual four-day Festival of Hospitality in the Community Center.
The event will be entirely online, full of great topics and fun conversation. You can revisit last year’s Festival by having a look here: Festival of Hospitality 2021
We do need your help, though, so we would like to invite you to get involved.
Here are two ways:
- Community Video: “I love hosting because…”
We would like you to record a 10-second video of yourself on your smartphone (or other device if you prefer). All videos will start with you saying “I love hosting because…”.
We will stitch all the videos together to make our very own community video, which we will share to close out the festival.
How this works:
- Start by recording yourself saying “I love hosting because…”
- Record it in landscape mode, if possible (not portrait)
- Ideal video formats: .mov or mp4
- Send your video submissions to airbnb-cc@airbnb.com
If you want some inspiration, check out the videos from 2019 and 2021.
- Create a detailed topic all about hospitality:
If you would like to create a topic to be included in the week, please comment below or contact me directly to discuss this further.
We are asking for a maximum of 750 words, which we will translate into all the languages we support here on the CC to share during the Festival. Don’t forget to include some images as well!
We know you all have so much creativity to share, so can’t wait to see what we can all learn during the Festival week!
Thanks so much,
Sybe
**Deadline for submissions is August 17th 2022
