AirBnb Experiences - calendar synchronization
In the context of the growth of tourism activities, service providers are using sales platforms: Airbnb Booking, Expedia, TripAdvisor, Viator, Musement, Getyourguide...etc. They use these platforms to resell their activities. The multitude of sales channels makes planning very complicated. Indeed, the service provider must connect to the back office of each platform. It is difficult to keep his availability up to date.
A ski school that sells on its own website and on other platforms (AirBnb Experiences) has difficulty keeping track of its bookings. The risk of overbooking is high. The solution to manage availability efficiently is to use a single, connected and synchronised schedule.

If you publish your listing on other websites, you can avoid travellers booking on the same dates. By synchronising your Airbnb Experiences calendar with your other calendars, you can avoid overbooking.
