Orbitz: new service makes group planning easier
Orbitz and TripHub announced a strategic partnership they say will make it easier for customers to plan group trips and events.
The just released TripHub’s service on Orbitz helps groups more easily plan, coordinate, and share trips such as bachelor parties, spa vacations, reunions, weddings, trips with clubs and teams or any event that involves coordinated travel.
According to a recent Forrester Research report, 46% of online U.S. leisure travelers took at least one “group” trip in the past 12 months.
“Whether its a buddy trip to Las Vegas or a family reunion in Orlando, Orbitz now will help groups communicate and coordinate what can be complex travel plans,” said Steve Barnhart, CEO and president of Orbitz Worldwide, Inc.
Orbitz says it is the only major online travel agency to exclusively feature and promote TripHub’s planning and community tools.
Features of the new service include personalized “Trip” pages for sharing all trip information; invitation and RSVP tracking; trip blogs that enable collaboration on decisions and allow customers to share their experiences with their group, and a schedule of events so everyone knows what’s happening, when, and where.
