(1888PressRelease)
October 20, 2007 - Extravigator announced the official launch of their website (extravigator.com), an online network for luxury travel. Designed as a unique, highly interactive series of discussions for a discerning audience, Extravigator is the premier destination for savvy travelers to give and get top advice, tips and opinions about high-end travel, as well as share their unique perspectives on and authentic experiences with world-class hotels, restaurants, spas, shops, wine, arts, culture and more.
Extravigator sets itself apart from other interactive travel sites by focusing purely on luxury topics and destinations. Much more than basic bulletin boards, it puts member discussions in a position of authority, at the center of its site. The most insightful comments on the world's finest establishments are then chosen by the site's editors, and added to a searchable database and interactive map for easy reference - regardless of whether the feedback is positive or negative. The database can also be downloaded into Google Earth (a free application from Google), offering readers a complete bird's-eye view of any referenced properties and surrounding areas.
"There is a real demand for discerning travelers to be able to find advice online that they can trust," said Dan Richman, founder of Extravigator. "Planning for a trip today means getting the best information before investing one's time and resources. So being able to ask very specific questions on Extravigator, and receive brutally honest feedback about top establishments from like-minded travelers, is invaluable. And for jet-setters and trendsetters alike, Extravigator can keep up-to-the-minute current on what's hot from those in the know."
Aside from being able to share opinions and advice with fellow travelers, the social network also provides members the option to add context to comments with uploaded photos; and they can customize personal profile pages, share photo streams, display select widgets and divulge other information about themselves. Members may also choose to remain completely anonymous.
Extravigator's content is now accessible and viewable by anyone, although participation on the site will still require membership. Membership is by application only, but it is free.
