LocalTripper

LocalTripper is a local’s guide to authentic regional getaways, activities, and events that are fun, accessible, and affordable. Our ultimate goal: to convince all Americans to “Live every weekend like it’s a vacation! "

What makes us unique is the authenticity of our trip ideas. All the content is submitted and reviewed by fellow local trippers who actually stayed at the hotels and did the activities. Everyone has a favorite local vacation spot, hotel, festival, or daytrip. Our website is an exhaustive collection of these.

You can spend thousands of dollars and days planning a once-a-year vacation, or you can live life to the fullest affordably and effortlessly every weekend. All it takes is one night away to replenish from a hard week's work and to get a genuine feeling of escape.

Below are some of the features and functionality that make LocalTripper unique:

Relevant: Because searches are based on IP address, everything you see is within driving distance from your home. This creates a more relevant experience if you're just looking for something local and avoids the clutter of the stereotypical tourist traps.


User-based: The site revolves around user-generated content so that any member or event promoter can contribute his or her ideas. This model makes the site more authentic, manageable, and extensible across many regions.


Connected: LocalTripper is fully integrated with Facebook Connect, enabling users to share trips and events with their friends and families. This means that you can allow your friends to see where you're tripping and invite them to join you.


Convenient: LocalTripper organizes all content according to trip themes to help you conveniently plan your getaway. For example, some hotels are great for romantic getaways while others are more suited for a night on the town. Our themes help you to find the right hotel for any getaway.
