The Travel Site I want is a mixture of wikitravel and tripadvisor, only updated more often and not so narrow.
By narrow I mean that users on a site only go to restaurants that are mentioned on the site, potentially missing some hidden gems.
The biggest problem whilst traveling for me is not flight info. That's not a problem I have, really. I buy a flight once and forget about it. But I spend a lot of time worrying about not getting ripped off, or walking around finding a safe place to sleep, choosing decent restaurants, selecting authentic places to see and things to do. Wikitravel did an OK job but again it was 'narrow' and also infrequently updated.
In summation, the perfect travel site for me would be basically a map telling me local places to sleep/eat/activity and the price and quality and rating.
- saravk 14y agoHmm.. couldn't resist inserting a plug here. But the site you mentioned is very close to what i'am building now http://www.kettik.com http://www.kettik.com. Like you i spend a lot of time before a trip researching on the kind of experiences i could have once i get there. And being an independent traveler i'am more interested in the kind of activities i could do by myself rather than having someone arrange it for me. So i designed the site along similar lines. User experiences(blogs)/photos/attractions/activity/sleep/eat/ I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Especially on the way how the content is presented, there's a lot of scope for improvement there.
- intellegacy 14y agoI'll check it out, thanks. At first glance I'm wondering why I can't filter by locale. It reads more like a travelogue website than one that can help me immediately.
