Tripsoda announced on Nov. 18 that it launched a tour package platform for solo travellers.
Tripsoda, a preference based travel package group purchase platform, was launched in June and gained more than 100 users in 1 month. It is a startup expected to lead the tourism industry in the post-COVID-19 era.
Tripsoda provides real time price and reservation information, and is a group purchase platform for individual travellers to reserve local tours.
“With Tripsoda, even solo travellers can enjoy a cheap and jam packed tour, and with the patented preference analysis algorithm, you can easily find a compatible travel mate,” explained CEO Jo Won-Il.
Tripsoda has a community integrated with the local tour group purchase service which has an incentive based travel Q&A, and travel mate bulletin board.
Through the incentive based Q&A feature, individual travellers can get quality answers from local travel experts for travel related questions in the post-COVID-19 era, and through the travelmate bulletin board, users can find travel mates that match their travel preferences.
“I am confident I know the needs of individual travellers more than anyone,” said Jo. “Even in this COVID-19 pandemic, we are creating a strong foundation for the Tripsoda platform by partnering with more than 10 tour operators.”
Tripsoda plans to launch a multilingual version in the first half of next year.
“We plan to bring in a lot of travellers based on the incentive based travel community,” said Jo. “The goal is to create a space for solo travellers to communicate and enjoy.”
