The website, which is totally free to use, provides a safe, secure and genuine environment where members can create their own profile, meet other members, share information and start new friendships.
The emphasis is for people who are interested in travel and want to meet new people and like making new connections wherever they go.
Maurizio Marmotta, CEO, said: “People join Friends On Arrival for many different reasons and we are forever surprised at the diversity of members the site attracts – 60:40 female to male ratio, 25% have children, 80% are over the age of 25, 50% over 40 and 10% over 60.”
Marmotta attributes the diversity of members to the website’s focus on safety and privacy. All public content is moderated and the TRUSTe privacy program is strictly adhered to.
He explained: “It’s imperative that our members use the site in the comfort of knowing that their information is kept within the box.” “Our members also like the idea of being part of a social network that offers a range of options and social diversity and presents like minded travellers the opportunity to meet on-line, it’s a very simple process for a very valuable return.”
Now in its second year, Friends on Arrival offers people the opportunity to make the connection on-line before starting their journey, making for a more welcome on-arrival and travel experience.
