Global tourism is a booming industry. It remains
resilient and proves that the market continues to
grow with solid growth statistics. According to a
World Travel & Tourism Council estimate, the travel
industry generated 10.4% of the world’s GDP in 2019,
continuing its long history of solid GDP contributions.
The on-demand economy has changed people’s
perceptions of many things, such as travel &
hospitality. The travel sector is still expanding.

But what comes to mind first when you think about
travelling? People can now easily book lodging,
purchase tickets, compare prices, and find fantastic
deals on their smartphones and laptops, thanks to
travel apps like Airbnb!

Booking site Airbnb provides online hospitality
services and holiday rentals. You can reserve rentals
worldwide and filter the alternatives based on your
preferences, financial situation, and convenience. It
has achieved tremendous success thanks to its
creative strategy and smooth operation.
You must comprehend Airbnb’s business model and
features if you intend to build an Airbnb clone app.
The business strategy is relatively straightforward
and works for both people looking for housing and
those looking to rent out their property. Users of this
app can enter their information to view the
possibilities available based on their preferences.
LET’S DISCUSS HOW
TO DEVELOP AN APP
LIKE AIRBNB.

HOW DOES THE
TRAVEL APP WORK?
There are two types of users in the travel
application: those who want to rent a place
(landowner or host) and those looking for
accommodation (guests). The app has several
features for both hosts and visitors and is built on a
two-sided marketplace tech stack.

THE FUNCTIONALITIES
OF AIRBNB
Profile administration:
Hosts can change their information,
including their email address, mobile
number, account password, home address,
languages, and payment methods. You can
include the feedback too.

THE FUNCTIONALITIES
OF AIRBNB
Generation of a list
In addition to listing the address, the type of
lodging, the size of the space, number of
guests, the quiet hours and other
conditions, the payment information, and
the rent, hosts must also post high-
definition photos of their property and a
description of it.

THE FUNCTIONALITIES
OF AIRBNB
Requests:
When everything appears to be in order,
hosts can accept requests or reject those
they don’t like.
Bookings:
The host has the ability to access
reservation data and tracks upcoming
bookings.

THE FUNCTIONALITIES
OF AIRBNB
Chat:
This feature enables the users and hosts to
chat with each other.
Reviews and ratings:
By allowing hosts to score their interactions
with guests and provide reviews that other
hosts can see before approving a guest,
Airbnb protects its hosts.

THE FUNCTIONALITIES
OF AIRBNB
Monetary system:
Host cans view their transaction history in a
user-friendly style.
Integration of social media:
Additionally, hosts can use social media to
request that their friends download the app
or make reservations.

• HOSTS CAN INCLUDE EXTRA
SERVICES LIKE ENTERTAINMENT,
EXCURSIONS, WORKSHOPS,
NEARBY ACTIVITIES, ETC.
• 360-degree virtual tours of
lodgings.
• You can add a translation
feature.
• User-generated content can
help your platform become more
well-known.
• Integrate augmented reality,
such as the depiction of a
property card when customers
scan a QR code on a building. If your budget permits, you can add a number of
additional features to the initial or later iterations of
your application to give it a competitive advantage. For
instance:

INVARIANT
PRINCIPLES
OF UI DESIGN
While developing an Airbnb clone app, you must follow
the given instruction in the following lines to keep your
UI design top-notch.

Attract attention
with high-quality
images
When thinking about travelling, many people probably
think of a visual image before detailed plans or car rental
information. Based on these trends, Airbnb utilizes
graphical images. Images take priority over text in all
content, including lists of hosts. Most of the layout is
occupied by images, with bolded elements and buttons
next to it, which makes it easier for users to click.

Simplify content
Airbnb’s site organizes all its content and focuses on the most
relevant information. The data entry form is simple, and the
buttons used by the host are easy to find.
The list structure is a neat design that makes browsing easier.
The elements are arranged in a list structure on the page,
and only margins are provided at both ends, so it is neat
without extra information, such as advertisements.
The contrast between the background and the font is high,
and the text of the content is a straightforward narrative.
There is no lengthy text on the top page; each content
consists of a simple image and bold text above it.

Emphasize the most
important features
• CTA is arranged in the centre of a top page, where a
button guides users to the host destinations.
• The buttons on the search bar use a prominent pink
colour. By placing a transparent black colour on the
background of the search bar, the search bar is made
more prominent as a CTA.
• Airbnb also provides easy-to-understand information for
users interested in becoming hosts with a “Become a
Host” button and a block element that shows host
income.

Steps to create an
app like the Airbnb
• Basic layout
• This method starts by creating a layout skeleton. Known
as Content wireframes, these boxes represent each
element on the page of your site. In this step focus on the
content and the visual hierarchy. Use these boxes to
experiment with the placement of each element, like the
navigation bar and headers.
• By creating this skeleton, you can think about the overall
layout without considering the actual design in detail.
Once you’ve made a wireframe, you can practice
iterations to create a complete wireframe or mockup.

HEADLNE AND
HEADER
Headings and headers are essential elements. The headline
should have an expressive design that instantly grabs the
user’s attention
.
For example, Airbnb uses the heading “Live There.”
Then create the subheading “Let’s stay at a local host’s house
and travel to live in more than 191 countries.” You can tell your
users about the Airbnb experience and the convenience of
being able to use it from anywhere.
The header image is what the user first sees. Images that are
out of balance with the headline or distracting can lose the
user. Use the appropriate header image for your page.

CTA
A CTA button is a button that encourages a user to click on a website and
leads to an action.
By visually appealing in the form of a button, it has the effect of
encouraging user action. To use the CTA button efficiently, it is
effective to use techniques such as text, color scheme, and
placement. When encouraging users to take some action,
simply guiding them with text will have less impact. The CTA
button is a clickable button format, so it is easy to appeal
visually and lead to actions

Navigation bar
Although the navigation bar is small, but it is a helpful. . It is an essential
part of your app because the navigation bar is generally the first thing
visitors will use if they can’t find the information.
Limit the icon number usage in the navigation bar. Due to its restricted
area, the user may become tired if too many icons are on it and it looks
messy. All you need is enough items to guide the user.
For example, Airbnb is limited to four icons
.
• “Become a host” is designed for about half of our users.
• “Messages” send important notifications to users.
• “Help” is a general guide.
• An “account” is for managing user information.

Make it an interactive
design
The core of the user experience is interactivity. There are many ways to
create an interactive design, but here you can add some work to the
most critical elements of the CTA on the page. Creating a mockup does
not require you to add interactivity to every element. It should be enough
to imagine the completed site.
Add a drop-down menu to make it appear in a pop-up window so that it
disappears when the user clicks the button or moves the mouse cursor
over it. You may also try altering the button’s color when the cursor is
over the search button.

Conclusion
Airbnb’s mission is to realize a world where everyone is everywhere. From
log houses to castles, you’ll find millions of listings for your travel needs.
Check out the description and photos, host profile, and guest reviews for
listing details. And now you can do that too
.
Fortunately, the software is cheaper. Located in the cloud, for
rental, on all devices, it has no long-term contracts and is user-
friendly too. It is a thriving market, and investing in an Airbnb clone
app would be the wisest decision, as you can expect a higher ROI
quickly. Contact UberCloneApp for more information.
