#### What is an Experience? <a href="#what-is-an-experience" id="what-is-an-experience"></a>

An experience is an activity, service, or point of interest that you can offer to your guests through the guest application. Experiences range from local restaurants and guided tours to in-house amenities like a spa or gym. Guests can browse experiences, request inquiries, or directly purchase products attached to an experience.
