Crawley, UK – Hosting a smart e-folder in which to organise travel clippings, Vtravelled, the new website by Virgin Atlantic, helps travellers keep track of all the bits and pieces of research that go into planning a trip.
Trip Pod, the handy feature, allows users to collect travel ideas and sort them into custom schedules and bespoke guides. With a Vtravelled bookmark added to their web browser, would-be travellers can easily earmark articles and flashes of inspiration gathered from all over the internet as they plan their trip. Group Trip Pods allow two or more travellers to collaborate on the same journey.
Vtravelled also includes traditional travel-guide content, magazine-style feature articles, and user-submitted reviews and photos of destinations around the world. In addition, the site matches users with others who share their travel DNA so readers feel they can trust the advice they receive. The you-show-me-yours-and-I’ll-show-you-mine aspect of the site is key: consumers increasingly seek feedback from fellow travellers when researching a holiday.
Armed with a Trip Pod bulging with travelogues and assorted anecdotes, travellers can now ease onto the open road – or into the open skies, as the case may be.
