We never goes as far as when we do not know where we goes. » – (Christophe Colomb)
For the past 2 years we are working to develop TripSourcing.com and several people have contacted us to see what they would bring more to the online travel world.
Well, Tripsourcing.com is an international market place built around a unique business ecosystem in addition to being the first real-time community itinerary planner. Whew! Is it clear?
A market place is defined as a platform that connects an offer and a demand. Members who offer their services are called promoters, and those who use our services (our customers) are called requesters. Our Promoters are rewarded with dollotrips by suggesting travel itineraries and ideas to requesters.
Tripsourcing.com responds mainly to the following problems:
• Helping novice travelers to plan trips online;
• Allowing people who don’t have enought time to let a community make the research information for them;
• Offer new ideas or attractions known mainly by locals residents and some experts;
• Accelerating the creation of an itinerary;
• Opening a communication channel between tourists and providers, owners of tourism businesses;
• Give visibility to small tourism organizations at a really low fee.
The principal issues of existing planning model is that nowadays, everyone with Internet access can provide comments in the online travel guides about accommodations and restaurants they has already frequented. There is now an abundance of extraordinary ways to acquire information in preparation for a trip: online travel guides communities, blogs, price comparator, social networks, etc. This situation provide a lot of choices and it is very difficult to find ourselves in the overabundance of information. This profusion of information creates a huge gap for any web novice or experimented travelers wishing to quickly obtain appropriate and realistic tailor-made travel itineraries that fits their needs.
Unlike traditional planning with a travel agent, online travelers are left to themselves. To obtain appropriate and realistic itineraries, we realized that it was imperative to involve all stakeholder in the tourism industry, equally residents of destinations, experts, online travel guides and tourism professionals. It is therefore a natural evolution of the current model of planning itineraries online passing by a random linear model to a model of structured coopetition.
In a future article, we will elaborate on the benefits and profits of a business ecosystem for our promoters members.
Greeting,
Chantale and Guillaume
