TripAdvisor Teams up With Nokia to Empower Even More Travellers
LONDON, July 30, 2010--
- TripAdvisor Now Available Through Nokia's Ovi Maps and Ovi
Store: Includes Flights, Hotels, Restaurants and Attractions
TripAdvisor(R), the world's largest travel site, has announced a new
partnership with mobile giant Nokia which will include an Ovi app for Nokia's
Ovi Store, and integration of the TripAdvisor service into Nokia's Ovi Maps.
The TripAdvisor for Nokia app allows travellers to search for popular
hotels, restaurants and attractions in their vicinity, as well as find the
cheapest airfares available. The app is available in 12 different languages,
giving travellers around the globe a localised TripAdvisor experience.
With the tap of a finger, Nokia users can now find and filter hotels and
attractions by rating, distance and price. Travellers can also post reviews
while they're on the road and their experiences are still fresh.
"Our collaboration with Nokia further strengthens our commitment to
providing trusted and valuable travel advice at home or on the go," said
Steve Kaufer, TripAdvisor founder and CEO. "We are thrilled to launch
TripAdvisor for Nokia, which gives even more travellers a new way to access
the more than 35 million traveller reviews and opinions available on
TripAdvisor."
As part of the agreement, a dedicated TripAdvisor service will also be
integrated into the popular Ovi Maps environment.
"The ability to find the best places around you is a key advantage of
connected mobile services. The Trip Advisor integration means Nokia users get
immediate access to the latest user reviews of the restaurants, hotels, and
attractions in their immediate area, or anywhere else in the world they may
want to discover while on the go. Global free drive & walk navigation on Ovi
Maps means that once you find that great place, you are sure to get there
hassle-free using Ovi," said Robert Rogers, Senior Manager, Ovi Publish.
The TripAdvisor for Nokia app is available for free to all Nokia Symbian
touchscreen smartphone users globally today on the Ovi store. Trip Advisor
for Ovi Maps launches today in select markets, with full global roll-out
scheduled within a month.
Note To Editor:
TripAdvisor also has free apps available for iPhone, Android and Palm Pre
users, and the TripAdvisor mobile website is compatible with all major cell
phones and smartphones.
