A personalized city trip without the planning hassle

Planning a citytrip from scratch manually is a difficult and time consuming problem. You have to gather content from different sources, make a selection of what interests you, organise this selection into individual visits, taking into account opening hours, visiting durations, walking distances, etc. Our technology takes the hassle out of planning.

Our vision is to revolutionize the way travelers get inspired, plan and experience their citytrips. An automated personalized travel guide provides an answer to the customer frustration of planning a trip with out-of-date and one-fits-all traditional printed guides and the labyrinth of, often doubtful and irrelevant, information generated by pure crowd sourcing.

Our platform / trip planning engine works as follows:

  • The traveler’s profile is determined based on category preferences
  • His profile is matched with our huge content database to predict interests into various activities
  • We automatically generate an optimal schedule and itinerary, trying to fit in as much interesting things to do as possible, while satisfying distance / time constraints and taking into account opening hours.
  • The tourist can alter the trip proposal until satisfied. We present a decision support tool, not a decision making tool, the final decision is still the user’s responsibility. We only assist in planning.
  • The optimal schedule is a mix of inspirational content and bookable content
  • The user can book the individual items like hotel, train, restaurant, …
  • The user can export to mobile (iphone, android) or print his map

Next to the planning engine, the second cornerstone of our product is content. We strive to combine various types of high quality content: crowd sourced, editorial and content acquired through partnerships with local tourist boards and other DMO’s.
