Creating a transformative experience for your guests
Chip Conley, Head of Global Hospitality, interviewed by Pearlshare
at the 2015 Airbnb Open in Paris
“If you understand the guest really well, and you can actually suggest an itinerary for them, that’s customized and perfect for them, that’s as good as it gets.”

Practical steps towards creating a transformative experience
1. Find out about your guests’ interest and reason for visiting
2. Create a personal guide for them, tailored to their stay
3. Follow-up to find out what they enjoyed
What to do How
Questions to ask• Why are you visiting?• What types of food do you like?• Do you want to do the tourist attractions,
or local?• Pro-tip: check the weather!
Creating a personal guide is made easy using Pearlshare• Include places to eat as well as places to
see• Pro-tip: include your own recommendations

Pearlshare is one of the easiest ways to create and share your personal, local recommendations with
guests
Pearlshare is a service to create and share local area guides with guests – your “pearls of wisdom”
Travellers love Airbnb because it helps them to experience “living like a local”

Pearls are grouped into Collections, which are highly interactive and useful local guides
“Pearls” are your recommendations• Your “pearls of wisdom”• With all the details about a place
(e.g., address, website, phone)• With your personal comments and
why you recommend
Collections are lists of your Pearls• Groups of Pearls that can be combined in any way you
choose (e.g., attractions for visitors, Paris restaurants)• Pearls are viewable in an interactive map view• Details are interactive, so getting directions is only ever
a tap away
