PlaceKnow.com is above all a social platform with all the features of such a medium. You register a profile, upload pictures from your travels, tag people and rate cities.
Placeknow.com, a multifunctional tourism website created by a community of travel enthusiasts, is the first in the world to introduce the service of individual recommendations for holiday spots. This easy to use, innovative tool has filled a niche in the tourism market, as the recommendations are tailored to each user’s individual needs. What should you plan to make your holiday a truly relaxing one?
The Internet, with its enormous base of information, is the perfect place to do all your travel planning. Unfortunately, going through booking websites, tourism pages, message boards in search of opinions, and other places with information about your planned trip can take up quite a lot of time. And there isn’t that much of it left until the holiday season starts. This is why the new functionality of PlaceKnow.com, an answer to the market’s demands, is meant as a way of helping you make your holiday dreams come true.
“Before the recommendation system came into being, our idea was already recognized by experts. We were among the winners of one of the largest business competitions, Startup Open, where we competed against 450 startup projects form around the world. We had no doubts that ours was a breakthrough idea, and that we should quickly get it off the ground and make it easier for all travel enthusiasts to plan their journeys. The user receives tour offers based on a complex analysis of their individual needs. It’s like getting a tailor-made suit. Or even several to choose from, differing in prices and colors,” says Lukasz Sobanski, PlaceKnow.com CEO.
Until now, there has been no tool which would comprehensively analyze a user’s preferences and suggest them where to go and how to get there, The analysis is based on three factors.
How to plan your dream holiday?
The first step is to register an account on PlaceKnow.com. Once you’ve done that, you are asked a series of questions about your personal preferences. Stating where you prefer spending your free time, whether it’s the beach or the mountains, means of transport by which you’d rather travel, and information about what company you like to keep when travelling will impact the trips and tours you will be offered. The second factor in the analysis is your activity on PlaceKnow.com, which is made up of, for example, the contact you made with other users, information about cities you are interested in, liking a place or a photo. And the final factor is the general attractiveness of the places themselves. Those which have suitable accommodation and tourism infrastructure are suggested more often.
Based on all this unique data, you receive a list of suggested travel destinations, with an estimated budget and travel time. The amount of useful information will allow you to, for example, choose the cheapest tour. The suggestions include connections between different means of transport with a comparison of the costs and time needed, as well as many varied local accommodation options and restaurants.
The community shares its impressions
Such a complex analysis allows us to precisely match the presented travel plan to the user’s preferences. However, those who would like to start making use of the great functionality of PlaceKnow.com will be happy to hear that right after registering they will be able to get the first suggestions. The suggestions are not just for longer holiday travels, but also for weekend trips, and this makes our service so useful for many people, including those who spend most of the year working.
PlaceKnow.com is above all a social platform with all the features of such a medium. You register a profile, upload pictures from your travels, tag people and rate cities. The new functions are another developmental step. Each time you rate a place, you are shown a list of all the users who have also visited it, or who live there now, o it is easy to get in contact with them. Furthermore, our website gives you the possibility of going on virtual tours, so you can first try each suggested trip online.
