We knew TripAdvisor for its opinions on restaurants, hotels and other tourist places, now the site has had a makeover and now intends to establish itself as THE social network for travel. It must be said that everything has changed, or almost. The interface is more modern and very clear:you immediately come across the search function with the "Which destination?" which appears above the main options (hotel, activity, restaurant, flight or vacation rental). Under the banner, we come to the “social network” part of the site, with our profile and news feed.
The profile part uses codes well known to people present on social networks:a box on the left with a photo, username and nickname, as well as the possibility of entering your current city, your website and even writing a little blabla to introduce yourself. The main part, that of the news feed, consists of our opinions, as well as content deemed interesting, whether shared by people we follow or on themes that interest us because we have searched. such city, such place, etc. If we have done a city search, the whole news feed is then dedicated to it with interesting posts, suggestions of places to visit, the most photographed places, etc. On the right are suggested profiles to follow. We can now choose to follow influencers specializing in travel and lifestyle or brands like National Geographic, Business Insider, Go Pro... Finally, and this is perhaps the feature that we like the most, we now have the possibility to create “Journeys” (private or public) and to group together all the addresses that seem interesting to us. The site then automatically generates a map that shows us all the places, practical for optimizing your outings on site!
More than ever, TripAdvisor stands out as THE reference travel site and makes us want to discover the world... and share our opinions!
