Tripbase Launches New Travel Widgets

Tripbase Launches New Travel Widgets

 

More destination information and inspiration from the award-winning travel site offering three new travel widgets, available for free.

Palo Alto, California (May 19, 2009) Tripbase, the online market leader for personalized vacation ideas, has this week launched three new travel widgets: the Daily Costs Calculator, Weather and Season Predictor and Travel Picture of the Day.
Tripbase’s travel widgets can be easily embedded into websites and blogs and are 100% free. They’re targeted at any travel blogger or webmaster wishing to enhance their user experience with high quality travel tools.
Building on Tripbase’s expertise in personalized vacation ideas, the widgets go further in helping users to find their ideal vacation destination. Undecided travelers can quickly calculate average daily costs (according to three different budget categories) and predict likely weather conditions, depending on when they want to travel.

And if they’re still not sure where to go, they can check in with Tripbase’s Travel Picture of the Day for fresh inspiration every day of the week.

‘These fun travel widgets provide information on over 20,000 different travel destinations within seconds’ said CEO and co-Founder, Reuven Levitt. ‘We’ve got a long list of bloggers who can’t wait to get them on their site. It’s a win-win situation: they get great tools for their users and we get to spread the word about Tripbase.’

In addition to distributing these ready-made travel tools, Tripbase also offers custom travel widgets for qualified companies.

Launched in May 2007, Tripbase is the Internet’s first discovery engine for personalized vacation ideas and was named Travel and Leisure’s Top Travel Website for Destination Ideas in November 2008.

Tripbase’s Road Trip Planner is the latest addition to the site’s travel recommendation services and is the only product of its kind on the Internet. It provides budget vacation recommendations to a whole new segment of undecided travelers, helping them to plan their very own ‘Road Trip USA‘.
