EUROPE – With wildfires raging across the continent, Airbnb has unveiled its latest “authentic travel experience”: the Wildfire Scenic Tour, promising “fiery sunsets, unforgettable heat, and a chance to give back with one bucket of water per guest.”
Priced at €199 per person, the tour includes transport to the fireline, a commemorative bucket embossed with the Airbnb logo, and the thrilling opportunity to toss your single gallon of water into an inferno. “It’s sustainable,” claimed an Airbnb spokesperson. “Guests are lowering emissions by combining disaster tourism with civic duty.”
For those seeking a more romantic atmosphere, the Sweet Evening Package offers an artisanal box of marshmallows to roast at a “safe but Instagrammable distance” from the flames. Guests who upgrade can also receive eco-friendly bamboo skewers and a selfie stick designed to withstand temperatures up to 800°C.
Local firefighters have criticized the program as “insulting,” but early reviews are glowing. One guest described it as “the most immersive survival simulation since Squid Game.”
