Tripcierge Offers Summer Travelers a Virtual Concierge to Discover Things to Do and Book Activities on Trips
Redmond, Washington (PRWEB) July 29, 2013 -- Take away the stress of finding and booking activities for your summer trip with Tripcierge, a new travel site and app. Tripcierge offers a fun and intuitive way for people to plan activities for an upcoming trip and get recommendations for things to do from local experts as well as friends and family. Travelers can also capture memories of their trip by creating and sharing trip journals on the site.
Personalized offers: Despite the wealth of online information available, it’s easy for travelers to get overwhelmed with trip planning and research. "While many sites offer local deals to subscribers, Tripcierge is unique in that it connects travelers to local experts and hotel concierges who share their top picks and best deals for their city, personalized by traveler profiles, weather, seasonality, and other characteristics," said the company’s founder and chief executive, Vijay Sureshkumar. Travelers can readily access last-minute deals while they are on the move with the Tripcierge app.
Trip plans: Besides getting personalized recommendations for their trips, Tripcierge users can create trip plans on the site to keep track of their travel bookings and daily activity schedule – all in one place, readily shared with other trip members. Friends and family members can provide their input and ideas to make travel planning a fun, collaborative and social experience.
Journals: Tripcierge also offers a delightful way for travelers to capture and share memories of a trip through the trip journals feature. Instead of just posting hundreds of photos from a trip on Facebook or Instagram, Tripcierge users can share their favorite trip memories in a creative and visual way incorporating photos and text into the Tripcierge journals.
Sureshkumar was part of the Expedia team that was spun off from Microsoft where he managed the product development teams building connectivity to Expedia’s partners including air, hotel, car, cruise and activity providers. The company has an impressive advisory board including Schwark Satyavolu, whose Truaxis was recently acquired by MasterCard, and Parvez Ananadam, who sold his file sharing service Tappin to Globalscape.
