Tools for travelers: TripHub

July 31st, 2006 by Jorge

TripHub is a quite easy to use group travel organizer. The idea is to provide a series of tools to plan a travel among several people and to coordinate different details: time schedules, flight numbers, hotels, etc. Although the site is in english -obviously aiming at the american market mainly- it’s accesible to anyone who has a minimal knowledge of this language.

Besides the coordination tools, each group travel has an assigned blog to publish stories. What’s missing, at least in the current version, is a photo album or something similar. The contents upload interface is too basic, by the way. The information can be shared among the group members; for this, we can invite other people through emails.

As part of its business model, TripHub can allow us to search for flights and hotels; these transactions must be on commision. Besides, these pages have Google Adsense advertising.

While for now it’s pretty basic, TripHub fulfills its assignment. Surely it’ll have to add new functions if it wants to survive the competition of Yahoo! Trip Planner.
