Travelomy is a next-generation travel guide that leverages web 2.0 technologies to provide comprehensive travel information for South Asia. Covering 5 countries and approximately 5000 places and activities, Travelomy is a one-stop shop for planning travel anywhere across India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Maldives.
While online travel guides have existed for long, new entrant Travelomy challenges the status-quo by virtue of the way it leverages next-generation technology to provide better travel information. It focuses on three key aspects – rich content, geo-location and social media; and uses them effectively to build a truly valuable information source for the user.
Travelomy also differentiates itself in the way it collects and presents information. Almost all of the content on Travelomy is crowdsourced and can be updated by any user who is signed-in. There are no advertisements anywhere on the website, making it one of neatest User Interfaces that have come through in a very long time.
South Asia is the first step for Travelomy and an opportunity to validate its unique concept; it would gradually be expanding globally over the next few quarters.
