Despite the wealth of information available, many travelers still turn to their friends for travel advice and

recommendations. “Friends are seen as trusted sources of information because their tastes and preferences are

known.” said Mr Cheng. “Reviews from online personalities can be fabricated and their preferences might be

unknown.” Although useful, friends’ recommendations can be difficult to gather. With the new features,

Vietnamtravelrates eliminates the need for much of the back-and-forth communication and makes recommendations more

personal.

Sharing recommendations with friends is easier with the new “Quick Rate” system. It is designed to allow quick

feedback on attractions, restaurants, and hotels in a given destination. These ratings provide a quick gauge for

each item. To provide more detailed information, write a review. These ratings and reviews will be provided to

friends looking for assistance during the travel planning process.

Getting recommendations from friends is also easier. You can receive friends’ recommendations while browsing

destinations or while creating an itinerary. From any destination page, travelers can see the activities,

restaurants, and hotels that their friends are recommending. Friends who’ve been there are also listed along with

information such as number of times visited, date of last visit, and itineraries on Vietnamtravelrates.com.

Friends’ recommendations are also provided as part of the “Plan it” feature which creates a personalized trip at

the click of a button.

“Our goal at Vietnamtravelrates.com has always been to focus on more of a push methodology,” said CEO, Mr Cheng.

“We recognize the importance of recommendations from friends. So, we’re providing these new functions to help the

decision-making process.” The new social friend features are a step toward providing more personalized

recommendations to make every trip special.
