Tripbase.com, the Internet's first "Intelligent Destination Finder," offers personalized travel recommendations based on users' personal preferences.

PALO ALTO, CA (May 5, 2007) - Trip Technologies today announced the launch of www.tripbase.com, the Internet's first website that helps travelers find vacation destinations based on their preferences for attractions, weather, dining, budget, shopping, nightlife and more. The site also provides users with personalized and unbiased recommendations about how to travel to these destinations and what to do there.

"The Internet has made it easy for travelers to find competitive prices for flights and hotels, but finding the perfect vacation destination has remained a challenge," says Reuven Levitt, CEO and Co-Founder of Tripbase. "With Tripbase.com, we're saving travelers time and effort by eliminating the hours it takes to search for a personalized trip."

How Tripbase Works

With Tripbase, travelers don't need to search through pages of data on multiple websites. Rather, they simply enter their travel preferences first. Then, in a matter of seconds, Tripbase provides unique, unbiased recommendations for the best destinations, hotels, flights, activities and much more.

1. Data Aggregation

Tripbase has developed search technology that constantly scans the web for the most relevant, current and highest quality travel information. To date, Tripbase has aggregated over 11 million points of data from sources that include traveler reviews, expert blogs and websites.

2. Data Analysis
Tripbase.com's proprietary artificial intelligence technology breaks down and analyzes that data quickly and precisely so that a traveler's preferences are matched with appropriate travel information from across the web.

3. Travel Recommendations

Tripbase.com reassembles all of the data that relates to a specific user and then gives unbiased recommendations for a personalized vacation, including the most appropriate destinations, activities, flights, hotels and more.

"Research shows that a significant percentage of people who are planning a vacation are either undecided or don't know where they want to go," says Levitt. "Our goal is to quickly find these travelers the best information the web has to offer them and help them make an informed decision, just as a good travel agent would. We're bringing the wisdom of millions of travelers to people's fingertips and that's exciting."
