During the presentation of the new Airbnb Experiences for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Airbnb reiterated its commitment to the project “Narrators of Beauty”, promoted by the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene and now being expanded to other UNESCO sites in Veneto
Milan, May 29, 2025 – The Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene continue to stand out in the cultural and sustainable tourism landscape thanks to the renewal of the collaboration with Airbnb, as part of the “Narrators of Beauty” project. The confirmation came during the official presentation, held yesterday in Milan, of the new collection of Airbnb Experiences dedicated to the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Milan Cortina 2026.
The event presented 26 exclusive experiences, which will see the direct involvement of internationally renowned Olympic and Paralympic athletes and will take place from June 2025 to March 2026. During the event, Airbnb co-founder and CEO, Brian Chesky, stressed the importance of highlighting lesser-known areas, able to offer authentic and unforgettable experiences.
On the sidelines of the presentation Brian Chesky and Marina Montedoro, President of the Association for the heritage of the Hills of Prosecco of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, met and was confirmed the renewal of collaboration with the Hills by Airbnb, that for the second year in a row will be among the partners of the “Narrators of Beauty”, project developed by the Association that protects the site aimed at involving young people and communities in the safeguarding of cultural and natural heritage.
“As Brian Chesky has said – says Marina Montedoro – Italy is known for Venice, Milan, Rome, Florence, but they are the less known areas that can live the experience and fairy tale. The mission of Airbnb is to bring people closer to communities through widespread hospitality, leaving value – including economic – just to local communities. The Hills represent exactly this style and this philosophy of hospitality and experience. That’s why we see Airbnb as a strategic partner with whom our collaboration will continue and grow. The Hills will play an important role also in view of Milan-Cortina 2026, not only for their position – ideal hub between Venice and the Dolomites, both UNESCO sites – but also for the authentic and suggestive experience they can offer: The fairy tale, exactly as Chesky said”.
Airbnb has also confirmed its renewed commitment to the protection and enhancement of UNESCO sites in Veneto, including the Dolomites, announcing the extension of the “Narrators of Beauty” project to other places in the region involved in the Games.
