Sweden lists entire country on Airbnb:
23 May 2017: Visit Sweden, Sweden’s official tourism board, has partnered with Airbnb to turn the entire country into an Airbnb listing. And the best part is – you don’t have to officially book accommodation because all publicly owned land is entirely free and accessible to everyone!
Every lake is your infinity pool, every mountaintop your granite terrace, every meadow becomes a garden and every forest a pantry filled with mushrooms and berries. Feel free to take a morning jog or bike ride across open fields or trek through challenging mountain terrain. Should you want an upgrade, you do not need to ask anyone, just find the best location that suits you and your mood.
“This is made possible thanks to a Swedish right guaranteed by the constitution – freedom to roam. This right enables the Swedish people to experience nature and enjoy the beautiful Swedish wildlife. In Sweden we have everything from high mountains to deep forests, from beautiful archipelagos to quiet meadows. Now, together with Airbnb, we welcome everyone to Sweden and, through freedom to roam, they can share our wonderful nature”, says Jenny Kaiser, USA Country Manager at Visit Sweden.
Freedom to roam allows everyone and anyone to be free amidst Swedish nature with the right to access, walk, cycle or camp on any land. Only private gardens and lands under cultivation are an exception to the rule. The idea of free nature accessible to anyone is in the DNA of every Swede, but with great freedom comes responsibility. The general rule for spending time in nature is “do not disturb, do not destroy” – just like in any other home.
“We are very excited to welcome Sweden on Airbnb for everyone to explore. This partnership is a first of its kind collaboration between a tourism board and Airbnb. It is designed to promote Sweden as a destination through the power of the Airbnb community which is perfectly placed to showcase the many extraordinary locations to stay throughout the country.” says James McClure, General Manager Northern Europe at Airbnb.
The campaign is launching on 22 May, 2017.

This month Airbnb rolled out an updated ‘For You’ tab, making it smarter and more curated. For You is the first thing you see when you pull up Airbnb (in-app and on-web); it shows experiences and activities available on our platform.
How it was/what’s new
• Previously, For You provided recommendations based only on travellers’ current locations.
• Starting next week, For You will adapt to highlight activities based on location and where travellers currently are in their planning phase, e.g., things to plan in advance of a trip, things to do when currently on a trip.
Availability
• The new For You will first be live for people (with English as their app language setting) searching for, traveling to, or currently in Barcelona, Cape Town, Florence, Los Angeles, London, Miami, Paris, Tokyo and San Francisco.
