Reco from Tripadvisor (helloreco.com), the new custom trip design platform, is seeing increased demand for “big, trip of a lifetime” vacations as Americans look forward to traveling again. In recent weeks, there has been a substantial surge in inquiries and bookings for both international and domestic travel for Q3 and Q4 of 2021 and well into 2022 on the Reco platform.
“We are feeling encouraged after such a challenging year, and we’re excited to help travelers look forward to meaningful trips again,” said Erik Ornitz, General Manager of Reco. “Trip Designers on Reco are helping make long-awaited vacations possible with personalized planning and expert advice on navigating today’s complex world. The excitement of newlyweds actually being able to plan their honeymoon, or families getting ready for a trip together after months apart, is a light at the end of this long tunnel.”

How Reco Works
Travelers start by simply sharing details and preferences about their next trip on Reco – such as destinations, the type of trip, their interests, who they are traveling with, and budget parameters. Immediately, the Reco platform matches users with a selection of curated Trip Designers that meet their unique needs.
After an initial conversation via messaging within the platform, the traveler pays a $200 hiring fee for their Trip Designer of choice to begin designing, planning, and booking a custom itinerary for a stress-free and highly memorable travel experience. Throughout the process (pre-, during-, and post-trip), Reco connects travelers with their personal Trip Designer, and saves all important travel documents and confirmations. The Trip Designer remains available to Reco users throughout their trip and can also navigate and help manage any changes or cancellations.
