When it comes to planning a getaway, a recent survey found that over half of respondents said a unique or interesting listing would inspire them to visit a destination they hadn’t previously considered.1 For travelers seeking that spark of inspiration to visit somewhere new, Airbnb’s most wishlisted listings offer a unique experience for every type of adventurer across all 50 states.
