- Product Description
- TravelMuse helps travelers save time and make better decisions at every step of the travel planning process. It's the first site designed to work the way people instinctively plan their trips, enabling consumers to collaboratively discover and explore potential destinations, research trips and finally make reservations. Building on its foundation of travel content and tools for inspiration, TravelMuse introduces its social trip planning platform enabling friends in networks to plan trips together and share their experiences.
- Market Opportunity
- Travel is the number one online retail sector, and according to Forrester Research the market will grow to $122 billion by 2009 in the United States alone, up from about $80 billion today.
- DEMO Says
- You may already be familiar with TravelMuse as an innovative, all-in-one site for travel planning. Combining planning and bookmarking tools with top-shelf travel writing has resulted in a site unlike any other travel site out there (and there are a lot). Here at DEMOfall, TravelMuse brings its site into the social realm with a social trip planning platform. By enabling people to hare and reuse travel plans with friends and family, TravelMuse is a perfect example of how to integrate social tools into a mass consumer site.
