Without a doubt, the Internet has made traveling for everyone a much easier job. Think about it, you are reading this blog post through the Internet to find out more about travel tips and other people’s experiences, right? I bet that you also visit other travel web sites, especially if you are looking into something specific. There is such a thing as information overload, though. With all the travel web sites in existence out there, how do you figure out which ones to go to? You can, of course, do it by trial and error and visit them one by one but the chances of hitting gold with this method are nil. You’d probably end up wasting a lot of your time. To help you out, I thought I’d list down some of the best travel web sites you can visit when planning your next vacation.
I took my cue from Times Online – they put together a list of the best travel sites for 2007. For this post and the next, however, I shall pick out only the sites that I have had personal experience with. And the number 1 spot goes to…
TripAdvisor
More than a travel site, it also functions as a social network. You get to give your own recommendations and interact with other people to get their own recommendations as well. You can find information about hotels, destinations, and other tips. I use TripAdvisor a lot and it really helps! Oh, for those who have Facebook accounts, you can even put this application where you can show everyone the cities and places you’ve been to around the world. Pretty nifty, huh?
