New Website Offers Travel Tips Galore
May 30th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Travel
If you’re sick of wading through confusing reviews to find the best places to visit, you’ll be relieved to learn that a new expert travel review site, TheTravelEditor.com, has been launched to inject some much-needed 21st century thinking into the online travel review market.
Created by telecoms and internet veterans Kevin Evans and Nicholas Allen, TheTravelEditor.com aims to help discerning professionals towards their perfect travel experience. The website contains a wealth of advice from top travel writers and documentary-makers with an authoritative knowledge of the best places to visit.
Unlike many other travel review sites, The Travel Editor has built a community around a network of real travel experts sharing inside knowledge, rather than relying on user-generated content.
“We’re going against the grain of Web 2.0 a bit,†says Kevin Evans, “User generated content is great but sometimes it’s a victim of its own success. Our customers don’t have time to sift through hundreds of reviews written by people they don’t know. On our site, you can join your favourite writer’s fan club and become part of their social network.â€
The website provides stylish, fun and inspirational reviews of hotels, bars, restaurants and local attractions for destinations around the world. However, this isn’t an ordinary mass-market travel review site.
The Travel Editor is also in the process of expanding its offering to include mobile services and downloadable media.
“We’ve just launched our mobile website so you can access all of our great content wherever you are in the world from your phone,†says Nicholas Allen.
The next application to be added will enable you to find recommended facilities and amenities, such as the top five restaurants within 500 metres of where you’re standing.
Nicholas says, “More people than ever are travelling these days, spending more than ever and using technology more than ever. Yet online travel sites just haven’t kept up. That’s why we founded The Travel Editor. Watch this space: we’re only just getting started.â€
