About Travelnoia
WHAT WE ARE / THE SOLUTION
---------------------------------------------
Travelnoia is a user-first vacation search engine. The "google of travel". Our software provides vacation solutions based on users’ individual profile and needs, in a way and flexibility unparalleled on the market. A beta is already
online with an early MVP: www.travelnoia.com
Most vacation goers have similar organizational needs, which require extreme customization to their needs: selecting destination, accommodation, transportation to destination, transportation during vacation, coordinating with other travelers, etc. is a hard problem that the current market solve individually, but not comprehensively - we are changing this.
BUT vacation needs can also be very specific: for the surfer, for the family, for the culture-freak, looking for an experience on a popular holiday (carnival, the German romantic route, ...). We will offer all sorts of niches a place to go - plus this provides us a simple model for user acquisition, by targeting individual niches.
THE PROBLEM
--------------------
1. Vacation market is still offer-first
The current travel market is offer-first. People tend to go on holiday to places that the web or friends/family recommend, or simply to popular destinations. But these generic offerings are hard to match to the individual needs. Do you have kids? Are you gay? A woman traveling alone? Like to hike, ski? Looking for good weather but not farther than 3 plane hours? Users must do all the work of browsing the industry offering and match them with their individual requirements.
2. Vacation organization is still a logistical nightmare
- Select the right destination matching you personal needs, and those of your fellow travelers.
- Select the accommodation that fits your daily vacation objectives - what will you visit, amenities close-by, space and comfort for all travelers, etc.
- Transport to destination - By car? By plane? Which are the best offerings? Which destinations that match my desires ALSO match the flights I can afford?
- Transport during vacation - Walking distance to the town center? Taxi? Car hiring? Transportation from Airport to accommodation?
- Safety and visa requirements - Can you travel there? What is the involved paperwork? Is it safe?
- Geographicaly constrained - Most offerings are catered to specific geographies, forcing users to check multiple sources if they want to travel internationally
OUR APPROACH
------------------------
The problem we solve, which is to allow users to easily find their next vacation, based on their own needs and desires, is a general need of a large part of the whole population. This problem is poorly satisfied by incumbent competitors.
The opportunity is there now to disrupt the travel industry and create the "google of travel".
The travel market is still anchored back to those times where the user must already have in mind what they are looking for, in order to find it. This is an analogous situation with the history of the online search market. Back then incumbents where classifying pages in a hierarchical manner and users had to manually navigate up and down hierarchies of lists of categories and pages. This was an industry still in the offer-first phase. Google offered something new: to focus on what the user asks for and find relevant results directly. A user-first startup disrupts the industry. We are finally doing the same in the vacation world.
OUR STAGE
----------------
We are at the end of the seed phase. An early MVP is already online (www.travelnoia.com), which we expect in a few more months of iterations to reach product/market fit. Then we can finally start our first customer acquisition campaigns.
On our precursor project, www.winterlos.com, we are obtaining a few hundred visitors daily on stand-by, i.e. with no active user-acquisition effort for more than a year. But we decided to pivot to Travelnoia since it is immensely more promising and easier to execute.
