New travel app, GoneVaca, is a social media start-up platform for travelers and bloggers to come together, creating an online travel community where they share content such as travel experiences, tips, advice, recommendations, interests and adventures.
More information is available on the GoneVaca website: http://www.gonevaca.com.
Travel sharing social media company GoneVaca is dedicated to information sharing of content from travelers and bloggers. Members of GoneVaca have the ability to post photos, videos, reviews, travel tips and advice from their personal experiences and adventures. Members also have the opportunity to connect with travel bloggers for travel articles to help them plan their future trips.
Travel communication and news shared on GoneVaca is about the traveler and is presented from the traveler's viewpoint. It provides authentic dialogue between members, allowing them to access real life experiences and recommendations, directly from a GoneVaca traveler who experienced them. Members have the ability to connect with other travelers who have the same interests, adventure level and travel desires, and to create lifelong travel friends. Family and friends can also follow a traveler's journey via the app.
GoneVaca travel sharing app features include: offline use, allowing travelers in remote locations to create content ready to upload when they reconnect to the Internet; advanced search, allows for searching on specific events, festivals, conventions and so on, and connecting with fellow travelers at these events; reward points, members collect points for app and website usage entitling them to free airfares, hotel stays and vacation packages; travel news and weather, update in a live feed; and location by association, lets travelers find exact locations of hotels, restaurants or any other specific point posted by another member, via geo-tagged images corresponding to Google Maps.
Unlike other sites, GoneVaca is set up as an unbiased, go-to resource for travel information, acting as a genuine review site as well as providing tips and advice on vacation sales, where to book travel (or not), great deals, value for money, and so on, shared from fellow members and travelers. A GoneVaca member reviews their whole vacation; activities, tours, eating experiences, not just the hotel room they rented for one night. A traveler researching their next trip can connect with a GoneVaca member, even a local at their planned destination, to chat about the trip, view images and videos and read travel logs.
GoneVaca plans to be the biggest social media travel community, revolutionizing the travel experience. The app is targeted toward Millennials, the 18 35 age group, representing 60 percent of international tourism. It is expected that they will spend more on travel services in the next ten years than any other age group. Of the 2 million worldwide Smartphone users, 85 percent of them are Millennials.
