Start Planning with a Travel Pack

Mark Evans

Director, Community

After a lot of hard work behind scenes, we’re excited to announce a new travel-planning feature on PlanetEye: the Travel Pack.

So, what’s a Travel Pack?

Think of it as the digital equivalent of the manila folders that many people use (particularly if you’re one of those really organized travelers!) to file travel reviews and magazine articles about destinations when they’re planning a trip or just thinking about travel ideas.

Using a Travel Pack, you can “clip” photographs on PlanetEye of all the places you may want to visit (restaurants, attractions, hotels, etc.)

Let’s say, for example, you see a photograph of the Hôtel Le Germain in downtown Toronto (A very nice boutique hotel, by the way!). If it strikes you as interesting and a place you may want to stay, you click “Add to Travel Pack” , and the hotel is added to a Travel Pack that you create.

As your Travel Pack starts to takes shape, all the “clips” that you’ve been adding will start to influence your travel choices so you can get the most out of your trip.

In the near future, we’ll be introducing some new elements to the Travel Pack that will make it even more useful and valuable so watch this space!

It goes without saying that we’re very excited about the Travel Pack and how it can help you make more insightful travel planning decisions.
