The advent of the Social networking sites and high increase in usage of Internet via

Desktop/ Laptops, Mobiles has brought a revolution in cyberspace. Through the

Internet, individuals can make their thoughts, opinions easily accessible to the global

community of Internet users.

In spite of the increasing importance of online peer-to-peer (P2P) information

exchange, establishing trust, credibility and accuracy of opinions shared online has

been under doubt. Online reviewers are often perceived as being lower in credibility

and likeability compared to traditional word-of-mouth sources due to non-face to

face interaction.

Website engaged in online review segment also never dig deep to glorify the role of

travel reviews in traveller’s trip planning process and without a better understanding

of its role and use in travel planning, review providers can not improve their

services.

The website has been conceptualised on these broader frameworks which has been

primarily overlooked by similar concept websites. Travellers are till time depending

their decisions relying on Inner feelings and reaction or based on online search or

offline search.

In majority of travels made in our country is planned based on some research by the

travellers. This could be offline backed research like travel magazines,

Recommendations of peers, relatives or articles published in newspapers. On the

other hand, due to change in socioeconomically dynamics of Indian families usage

of internet based research has picked up the pace manifold.

People do consider the online reviews about any location or Hotel while making any

decision about the trip to that place. Detailed description, latest visit by reviewer,

lucid languages, purpose of trip, experience of reviewers are few enablers for a

reader to make a decision about where to stay and which place to visit. And this is

the generic idea behind starting this website!

The main Idea is to provide an online platform for the readers and reviewer's to co-

habitat and rank & review any Destination, location or property with a fair and honest

way. The layout, colour combination, architecture of the website being playing the

scientific role to let the reviewers write with multiple options and to help the readers

to put trust on the credibility of the reviews and the structure should in turn give

encouragement to them to add up their reviews post travel.

This Website will act as a tool to help all the strata involved through three different

ways. The growth of platforms like this is helpful for the readers so as to plan the trip

with helpful resources and in advance detailing barring the haphazard decision or

trip planning based on instincts or intuition. It is helpful for the Property owners as

they can get the honest reviews fulfilling the true meaning of hospitality and

feedbacks without any prejudice or malice towards anyone. This is also beneficial

for the overall growing tourism industry. More the people will interact more it will

cause revenue for the Industry and also will help this Service Industry reliable,

efficient and of International Standards.
