Airbnb Partners with Choose Topeka to Offer Professionals Free Stays

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) – Airbnb has partnered with Choose Topeka to offer professionals free stays in the Kansas Capital.

GO Topeka says its Choose Topeka Relocation Initiative has partnered with Airbnb to provide possible new residents with free opportunities to visit the Capitol City. It said Choose Topeka provides up to $15,000 for those that wish to relocate to Topeka, a city of almost 200,000 people.

“As some consumers think through relocating, local, hosted stays enabled by Airbnb provide a fantastic option to explore neighborhoods before making a decision,” said Barbara Stapleton, vice president of business retention and talent initiatives at Go Topeka. “Through this partnership, potential residents will be able to ‘try before they buy,’ prior to making the commitment to the Choose Topeka program – and can truly experience what life could look like here if selected.”

According to the Greater Topeka Partnership, potential new Topekans will be guided by Airbnb’s ‘Online Experiences’ to introduce Topeka to anyone that may want to relocate and can answer questions regarding local life, events, and more.
