‘Travel inspiration’ online community under development
A new website designed to allow users to share travel experiences and help others ‘find inspiration’ is being tested.
The www.hereorthere.com site is a personal project for Cheapflights vice chairman and head of international Hugo Burge. A tie-up with Cheapflights is likely at a future stage.
The site has started beta testing with the use of many new technologies to create simplicity for the user.
Burge said: “The ultimate goal is to help resolve the age old conundrum of finding useful, personal and real ‘travel inspiration’.”
Using similar tools to YouTube, hereorthere.com will feature ratings, number of views, comments, tags and preferences to personalise and qualify the travel experiences.
“The site has just gone into beta and is a very stage,” explained Burge. “There is a lot more nurturing and product introductions to make but this is a good first step in the right direction.
“Whilst there are many travel communities out there. This has a new and original approach with a different mission, look and feel.”
