Business goal
"Our goal is to enhance the user experience of booking accomodation as a group. Currently, only individuals can book accomodation and encourage their friends or colleagues to pay them back after payment is made. We'd like to make it easier for groups of people to split the cost of an Airbnb when travelling together"
User Segment
The user segment we'd like to target to improve the group booking experience on Airbnb.com consists of travelers who plan trips together in larger parties, such as families, friends, and co-workers.
These users typically require accommodations that can comfortably accommodate multiple guests and offer amenities suited for group travel, such as shared living spaces, multiple bedrooms, and family-friendly facilities. They often seek longer stays and may be interested in exploring discounts or special offers for larger parties.
By catering to the specific needs of this segment, we aim to enhance their booking journey, increase user satisfaction, and tap into a relatively untapped market to drive higher revenue and gain a competitive advantage.

Metrics
Please note, these metrics would be used to measure the success of your design in the industry. Given you are in an education environment, you'll add these to your portfolio to showcase how you would measure success.
Group Booking Conversion Rate: Measure the percentage of visitors who visit the group booking section of the website and end up completing a booking. A higher conversion rate indicates that the design changes are effectively encouraging more group travelers to book accommodations.
Average Booking Value for Group Reservations: Calculate the average amount spent on group bookings. An increase in this metric would indicate that the changes have encouraged longer stays or higher spending by group travelers.
User Engagement with Group Booking Features: Monitor user engagement metrics such as the number of searches conducted using group-specific filters, interactions with group messaging, and the percentage of users creating and managing group profiles. Higher engagement demonstrates that users find value in these features.
Repeat Bookings for Group Travel: Track the percentage of users who book accommodations for group travel more than once within a specific timeframe. Higher repeat booking rates demonstrate improved customer loyalty among group travelers.

Brief
For this first case study we'd like you to learn how Airbnb can make it easier for groups of people to book accommodation without an individual paying the entire fee.
A successful case study will demonstrate qualitative research, thorough ideation, and a hi-fidelity prototype inline with Airbnb existing UI. Importantly, you'll need to conduct a usability test and document designs for a smooth developer handoff.
