periences that take them off the well-beaten path and allow them
to immerse themselves in regional communities,” says Derek Nolan,
Airbnb’s Head of Public Policy for Australia.
“Farm stays are a terrific way to both help farmers diversify their
income, as well as put their communities on the tourism map.
Farmers can also develop unique Experiences on Airbnb, which is
an exciting way to further grow their tourism business alongside
the accommodation they offer. Experiences are one-of-a-kind
activities hosted by experts and a great way to creatively give
visitors another way to connect with rural life.
“Importantly, each single farm stay plays a vital role in growing
tourism in their region and helping local businesses thrive.”
Airbnb is running interactive webinars designed to help farmers
become farm stay or Experience Hosts on Airbnb. Additionally,
Airbnb is making available to Northern Territory Farmers Association
members its Great Aussie Farm Stay resource, a bespoke
guide to help farmers across Australia understand the benefits of
hosting with Airbnb and a useful resource for new Hosts.
These resources will help farmers across the NT learn more
about how they can earn additional income through hosting on
Airbnb, as well as make a strong contribution to growing their
state’s tourism economy.
