Proud to introduce Tripess.com version 1.0, improvements and new functionalities! And some insights…

The last few months, since our launch in February, we’ve been working on some mayor improvements.

“Trip Essentials goes beyond search and entering the world of Serendipity (discovery). What’s the difference? Search is what you do when you’re looking for something. Serendipity is when something extraordinary that you didn’t know existed, or didn’t know how to ask for, finds you”.

I would also love to share some Analytics with you as well. Remember, we didn’t spend any money on (online) marketing! We’re amazed ourself’s that the website engages people and the amount of people using the website actively. Imagine if we would ever have enough money to spend on Online marketing .
