Caribbean travel resource unveils new innovations
Published on September 6, 2012 Email To Friend    Print Version

NEW YORK, USA -- Caribbean travel resource MyTravel Insider has unveiled new innovations to its program that will increase efficiency and communication between travelers and the local tourism industry.

By offering services on both their website, www.mytravelinsider.com, and the improved mobile app, MyTravel Insider is able to connect Caribbean visitors seeking authentic island experiences with the businesses and services that can provide them.

More than 20 million people visit the Caribbean every year, many carrying smartphones that are used as both reference guides for information about local destinations and as their primary means of communication. MyTravel Insider acts as a one-stop shop for travelers, providing them with information about local destinations, and not just the contact information for businesses, but an integrated means of booking flights and hotels through an Expedia-powered reservation service via the website.

MyTravel Insider advertisers are exposed to well-traveled, savvy, research-minded individuals who are looking for authentic Caribbean experiences.

The brains and beauties behind this service, Jamaican supermodels Kimanee Wilson and Jaunel McKenzie, understand the needs of the modern traveler, and have developed the program to cater to the services they need when traveling.

MyTravel Insider provides users with a “nearby” map feature highlighting services in the immediate area; a convenient, handheld method for reviewing and researching local businesses and attractions; and a breakdown of tourist destinations by several categories, including the ‘musts’, a list which includes must see locations that define a region, ‘popular spots’, off-the-beaten-path locations for the adventure minded, and “native links.”

“Modern travelers are always on the go and they’re really looking for an all-in-one service that can address the numerous facets of travel from both their phones and an integrated website,” Wilson said. “Technology has finally reached a point where not only can it provide these services for travelers, but travelers now have an expectation of it to provide those services.”

Businesses considering maximizing their exposure to that demographic through impactful promotional placement on both MyTravel Insider’s website and mobile app should also know that the company offers a risk-free advertising model that include a hassle-free cancelation policy.

MyTravel Insider provides travelers with unprecedented access to the Caribbean islands and meticulous reviews, while businesses are able to stand out from their competitors by engaging directly with travelers and showcase premier photos and videos in attractive slideshows.
