If your first reaction upon reading the name of this review was “oh no, not another Twitter app”, don’t worry because Witur may sound like Twitter but that’s where the similarities end. Witur is actually a space for people to share their travel itineraries, read detailed trip suggestions on a Google-powered geolocalized map, ask questions to the trip plan writers and locals and share trip plans with others. The site is pretty easy to navigate and there are a variety of different ways that you can search including a search bar where you can plug in your destination and another that allows you to enter your interests as well. You can also search by clicking directly on the map and seeing what trips people have taken and what they recommend. Lastly, search by trip type which include amongst other categories: nature, history, relax, coast, adventure, gastronomy and shopping.
“Witur offers routes and trip plans that will help you discover exciting places at your next travel destination. Use the search fields above to get started.”
The interface is attractive and user-friendly enough for people to enjoy using it. The secret to their success will be whether they can attract enough users to turn this into a large enough database of useful travel tips and information.
How will they market this site to increase the number of trips and suggestion in the database? Perhaps they could consider running a contest whereby submitters can win an all-expenses paid trip?
