Just in time for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo this summer, Airbnb is partnering with the International Olympic Committee to offer unique experiences for people traveling to Olympic host cities.

Aiming to encourage cultural exchange, support the global sporting community, and benefit the locals in the cities hosting the games, the Host the World campaign wants to widen the pool of local hosts and provide several new exciting travel experiences to make that trip to Tokyo, Beijing, Paris, Milan-Cortina, and Los Angeles even more memorable.

The highlight of the Host the World campaign is its athlete experiences. When you’re not in the bleachers watching your favorite event, book yourself some once-in-a-lifetime sporting fun with a passionate athlete — or even an Olympian. Immerse yourself in the vibe of the Olympic games, learn something new, and support locals by booking a fencing lesson with a former Olympian or taking a city bike tour with a cycling expert.

Check out the athlete experiences Airbnb offers for the next five Olympic and Paralympic games and meet local sporting heroes while breaking a sweat.
