Airbnb Experiences, the activities arm of the home-sharing platform, offers travelers many things to do in Lima, Peru. In the three years since Airbnb introduced its experience bookings, it found some of its most popular involved animals. On Thursday the company is introducing “ Airbnb Animal Experience s ,” an expanded and stand-alone category, much like its existing “Food and Drink” and “Sports and Outdoors” categories. The new animal division will have an ethical focus. “We realized people want to reconnect with animals,” said Mikel Freemon, the head of animals at Airbnb Experiences.
