Videoagency LauncheS First Online Hotel Video Portal - Trivop.com
APRIL 17, 2007. For the first time ever, Trivop.com allows consumers to start their hotel search by watching hotel videos; a vital tool that allows them to make an educated choice when deciding which hotel to stay in. Have you ever been disappointed when walking into a hotel or a hotel room, realising that the product you see before isn't exactly like the description or pictures presented on the website? With this new online video media, you can prevent this sort of disappointment. Videos give a more accurate overview of what the hotel looks like and what the customer can expect. It's a more effective option than just pictures.
Through the Trivop.com website, you will be able to discover the hotels' surroundings, their public facilities (the lobby, restaurant etc...) and last but not least, all bedroom categories. With Trivop.com, your hotel experience has already started. Trivop has launched operations in Paris (the most visited city in the world) and planning to expand in the main European cities.
Thomas Owadenko, founder of Trivop.com says: "For travellers, visuals are a crucial element of the decision-making process and ultimately the booking process. The video medium is by far the best option available for this specific market. In forthcoming years, hoteliers will increasingly feature their own videos on their websites. We believe that it is necessary to create a dedicated portal to aggregate all these videos and therefore help the online consumer make his choice."
Today, Trivop.com offers hoteliers the free distribution of their own hotel videos. Videoagency is already working on the 2nd version of Trivop.com whereby user generated content (UGC) and customized functionalities will be available to the end users. The value-added element of Trivop's proposition to the consumer is simple: The portal will allow consumers to view the official hotel video whilst giving them the opportunity to upload their own private hotel videos. Thus, you will be able to compare what the hotel would like to show you and what travellers have actually experienced during their recent stay.
