TripAdvisor(R), the world's largest travel community, was named one of the "Top 25 Travel Milestones" by USA Today. Picked by the USA Today travel team, the list, which was published in USA Today and on usatoday.com on Monday, August 27, features the top "25 pivotal changes that transformed the way we travel." TripAdvisor was the only company to be singled out as a milestone on the list of 25. Other travel milestones to make the list were online booking, smoke-free flights and rolling suitcases.
USA Today said about TripAdvisor, "Tens of millions of consumers go to voice their views on where to stay and what to do after TripAdvisor created its internet forum in 2000. The website set the standard for user reviews for hotels, restaurants and attractions."
"We are honored to be included in such a distinguished list as TripAdvisor continues to grow and flourish," said Steve Kaufer, founder and CEO of TripAdvisor. "We continue to add more features, such as the traveler network to provide consumers with the most valuable tools and resources for travel planning."
