Find Great Reviews at TripAdvisor

TripAdvisor is a website that assists customers in gathering travel information, posting reviews and opinions of travel-related content, and engaging in interactive travel forums. The website services are free to users, which provide most of the content, and the website is supported by an advertising business model.

TripAdvisor has extended its brand exposure to millions of people through popular third-party social networking sites, including Facebook. TripAdvisor-branded sites make up the most popular and largest travel social site in the world with more than 50 million unique monthly visitors, 20 million members and over 60 million reviews and opinions. 

Here are a few of the key features at TripAdvisor that help you understand this website and plan a wonderful trip:

• Instant Personalization – This feature allows travelers to get advice and recommendations from their Facebook friends on TripAdvisor to plan their next vacation. 

• Reviews at a Glance – This feature summarizes the most common review phrases, such as “great location” and “free Internet.” It allows consumers to get a quick snapshot of the overall traveler sentiment without having to read through dozens of reviews.

• Mobile City Guides – This feature offers smartphone access to a wealth of detailed information including traveler reviews and opinions on hotels, restaurants and attractions, as well as suggested itineraries and offline-accessible interactive walking tours. 

• Vacation Rental Calculator – This feature gives travelers an easy way to compare their accommodation options, allowing them to calculate the potential savings of a vacation rental home compared to the cost of a hotel in a destination based on the number of adults and children in their travel group, the number of nights they’ll be staying, and whether they plan to eat in or dine out.

• Flights with Fees Estimator – This feature offers travelers a large inventory of flights with the best deals available and a fees estimator that calculates the entire cost of a flight, including ticket price, fees for checked luggage and even in-flight food service and entertainment based on the traveler’s needs.
