Business Model Analysis of TripAdvisor: Top Travel Aggregator

In the last blog, we tackled the business model of Treebo Hotels –  the raising mid-tier hotel chain in India. Today we will dig into the business model of TripAdvisor – a worldwide travel options aggregator and booking website.

TripAdvisor is one of the world’s largest and most well-known travel and online flight and hotel reservation websites. It was founded in Massachusetts in the United States in the year 2000. Stephen Kaufer is the company’s founder. Since its inception, the ease of use of its website and amazing booking options have flung this travel options aggregator into fame and fortune.

TripAdvisor is among the slew of companies that made their fortune based on the internet. As users across the world go digital, marketing has followed them to the digital realm as well.
