Introducing the 2026 Host Advisory Boards

Host Advisory Board members are exceptional hosts who partner with Airbnb to influence the future of hosting. We created the board for home hosts in 2021, and we’re introducing two new global boards to support the growing community of experience and service hosts.

The boards include 45 highly engaged hosts from 19 countries. Hosts are selected based on their expertise, hospitality, and impact in their communities.

“We created the new boards to represent hosts across Airbnb,” said Marcela Aguilar, VP, Community at Airbnb. “These hosts are valued partners helping shape the future of homes, experiences, and services.”

Meet the members of the 2026 Home Host Advisory Board, Experience Host Advisory Board, and Service Host Advisory Board.

Every day, hosts offer unique stays, experiences, and services that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.
