Trip's unique combination of predictive AI technology and personalization make finding and having great experiences, whether local or global, easier than ever. The app takes data like time of day, weather and more into account to create smart recommendations. Users can join any of nineteen Tribes (Family Travelers, Foodies, Luxury, Wellness and LGBTQ, among others) to further personalize their experience. Users can also book flights, hotels, restaurant reservations and tour tickets through the app and site - thanks to great integrations with some of the industry’s best partners.
