Destinations
SOUTHLAKE, Texas–(EMWNews)–Travelocity’s ExperienceFinderSM
booking tool, the interactive dreaming and planning tool that allows
travelers to interact with and explore a city during the planning phase
of their trip, has now been expanded to a total of 18 destinations.
The ExperienceFinder tool allows trip planning by categories and themes,
planning and shopping through photo albums, video galleries, and rich
maps come to life. Visitors can store their ideas in a “wish
list” and return later to update that list or
review it and make a purchase.
“The ExperienceFinder tool has given us the
perfect opportunity to get the word out about our city’s
unique culture and offerings,” said Amy Brock,
Internet marketing manager for the Savannah Convention & Visitors
Bureau. “With the challenges the travel
industry is facing right now, this has been a great way to differentiate
our city and continue making Savannah a thriving destination. The
response has been overwhelmingly positive.”
ExperienceFinder cities now include:

Cancun

“The ExperienceFinder tool is changing the
way in which people dream, plan, shop and book their travel,”
said Troy Whitsett, vice president of design and innovation for
Travelocity. “Interactive travel planning is
becoming the way people prefer to shop, so we are excited to expand this
tool to even more cities in the future.”
The ExperienceFinder tool is having an extraordinary impact on travelers
thus far:
-
ExperienceFinder turns the premise for online shopping on its head by
changing the focus from just shopping, to dreaming, planning, shopping
and booking.
-
ExperienceFinder page views per session are nearly three times greater
than Travelocity.com.
-
People using ExperienceFinder are able to find all the tools they need
to make an informed decision, which is why the session duration for
