TRANSCRIPT

The ultimate travel solution

You

A place for travellers to

request what they want

from their trip…

….and receive offers

directly from locals who

can make it happen

“The thing I want to avoid most on holiday is feeling like a tourist”

Power to the people

Everything we offer as Tripbods can be tailored to the individual customer, by collaborating with them to create their perfect trip

1. Personal support to plan the perfect trip 2. Bespoke local experiences

What we offer

Tripbod.com turns travel on its head.

We start by asking what the customer wants, not telling them what we can offer.

Local tour operators: the opportunity to connect directly with inbound travellers pre-arrival.

Tour guides: use local knowledge in a different way and help visitors to plan the perfect trip 1-to-1, online before they arrive.

How we compliment existing services

Everyone wins

travellers have authentic experiences and spend money locally;

local people earn money from existing local knowledge and

passions;

tripbod.com sustained by the commission within the listed price.

Business model

Seller fee 15%

List price

Visitors Tripbod“For his 18th birthday I gave my son a trip of a lifetime to learn ‘krumping’– Tripbod made that possible”

- Charlie R, PR Agency founder

“We had complete insider knowledge even though we didn’t speak a word of the local language!”

- Catherine S, teacher

“What a brilliant experience, we went as a family of four…the whole trip was tailored around what we could do… the highlight being an expedition across the frozen river and through the woods”

- Tina B, Mum of three

“I wanted to experience and write about a different side to the destination– a local Tripbod was all I needed. Fantastic.”

- Dan L, Editor Wanderlust Magazine

“As more of the world becomes 'discovered', the real thrill of travel and tourism becomes meeting people

who live in and love a particular destination and can pass that enthusiasm and detailed knowledge on. It's

not easy to find guides of this kind and tap into their wisdom, but Tripbod removes the obstacle of finding

someone to help make your visit better.”

-Tom Hall, Chief Travel Editor Lonely Planet

The opportunity for East Africa

Unique adventures and experiences

Welcoming communities

Great food and culture

… these are the reasons why we travel but we need to hear the story from the mouths of local people.

There is a big opportunity and your country needs you….

And Tripbod needs YOU!
