TripSight™ Fills Gap in Travel Search - New Web Service Gives Unique Travel Insight

NEWTON, Mass. - August 11, 2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Symmetric Technologies Inc announced the launch of TripSight.com, a unique new website that provides instant destination advice for leisure travelers.

TripSight™ saves travelers time and fills the gap in travel search by finding destinations that perfectly fit traveler interests. Want to find the best hiking destinations close to home? TripSight™ can help, by showing the best places with great hiking just a car trip away. Interested in finding the best places for antique shopping in the U.S.? TripSight™ knows.

In fact, with detailed ratings on 54 travel interests in over 300 destinations around the world, TripSight™ can give insight on just about any trip. And TripSight™ isn't just a hodge-podge of biased information like other travel sites -- each destination is painstakingly researched and has detailed, independent information.

With expert rankings and opinionated writing on what's "Great" and what's "Not So Great" about destinations, travelers can discover new places, balance pros and cons and make better decisions. The travel knowledge powering TripSight™ was contributed by dozens of experts and researchers, from travel agents to seasoned writers and professional athletes. v "More than 50% of leisure travelers use the Internet to make travel choices, and we're giving them the advanced tools to make those choices confidently," remarked Rob Roberts, COO at Symmetric. "Touted by Gartner Group, this technology was funded by leading travel companies, and now we're making it available directly to the public."

The personalized destination advice on TripSight.com isn't available on any other travel site...not guides, not booking sites, not specialty sites. Nowhere else on the web can you find personalized destination comparisons that take into account geographic area, interests, climate, and travel time -- all at once!

"TripSight™ clearly represents the next generation of travel planning," commented Nick Athanasiou, travel industry consultant at Chrysalis Consulting. "This is the technology that travelers have been dreaming of and demanding to plan their trips effectively."
