After a year of pent-up travel demand, people are ready and willing to get back out there and explore the world again. But, rather than go on the same old vacation, travelers want to ensure their first trip back post-pandemic is a memorable one. That’s why, according to Airbnb, travelers are searching for the most unique accommodations they can find, and that includes thousands of searches for “domes.”
