Tripadvisor helps travelers plan trips by collecting member reviews and opinions about destinations, places to stay, restaurants, and activities. Travelers can search hotels, things to do, restaurants, and cruises, as well as review and explore without a stated consumer subscription price. Tripadvisor says its recommendations draw on more than a billion traveler reviews and opinions. The service is available on the web and through Android and iOS apps. Hotels can use Business Advantage, a paid advertising solution with profile controls, special offers, and a direct-booking website link. Enhanced listings can feature a favorite review and a photo and video carousel, and subscribers can add up to four contact points such as a phone number, email, or website. Analytics cover market comparisons, page traffic, referral clicks, and engagement with listing features. Business Advantage costs 99.00 USD per year at the listed minimum for a 12-month subscription; pricing varies by hotel location, size, and profile. Cancellation within 30 days of signup or renewal receives a prorated refund; later cancellation takes effect at term end.
