TINDER FOR TRAVEL
Tripnary, the new Travel startup, has a solution for the people who don’t know where to go next, involving a combination of data and personal preference.
The app has a Tinder-style interface, to select attractions from around the world that interest them. With a simple user experience: Swipe right if the attraction is interesting to you; swipe left if it isn't. It is the modern, fast choice for budding travellers.
Tripnary founder Abhishek Ghuwalewala had "accumulated many travel ideas over several years… Places to visit, restaurants to eat or unique hotels to stay at. However booking sites only offered an airfare search that is dependent on picking a location. As leisure travellers, people are flexible with destinations and so Tripnary was created with price-conscious leisure travellers in mind.”
When a user swipes right on different attractions, they are saved and grouped by destination (when a user swipes left, those attractions are discarded). On the "Flights" screen, a list of destinations is shown with airfares. The attractions in which the user has expressed interest are listed under each destination.
