Spring Holidays or Summer Vacation Planning: Start at the New Travelhoppers Site

March 17, 2011 - PRLog -- TALLAHASSEE, FL  – As travelers plan their spring holidays and summer vacation fun, new travel research and inspiration site Travelhoppers [http://www.travelhoppers.com] offers free access to the largest, most frequently updated database of travel companies, brochures, and specialists on the Internet.  
   “Travelhoppers presents travelers with resources for planning their trips that they typically would not find online – and certainly not in one place,” says founder Richard Earls. “It’s the perfect place to research where you want to vacation and find the right information and provider for your desired trip – from the most well-known brands to smaller suppliers and niche-focused operators, we present a comprehensive spectrum of companies, information, and experiences not hook’em and book’em ads seen rampant across the Internet.”
   Travelhoppers effectively fills the information void not touched upon by other travel sites. The site features brochures and information directly supplied by 3000+ tour operators, packagers, cruise lines, destinations, and other travel suppliers. The biggest advantage?  All of these features, plus travel programs, destination information, and real-world tips from high-quality travel providers (large and small) all via one hoppin’ website.  
   The Travelhoppers Blog features celebrated authors and acclaimed travel writers as part of the site’s community of contributors. Readers can delve into interesting and unique aspects of travel with new articles, excerpts, and content added daily. From facts and figures to firsthand traveler reviews and so much more, Travelhoppers gives travelers the information they need and want without pushing them to book unlike many other travel related sites.
     Owned and operated by travel professionals, Travelhoppers is backed by decades in travel with various sectors of the industry represented. “When a prospective traveler says they want ‘the best deal’– that doesn’t necessarily mean the cheapest,” explains Earls. “We’ve all heard the stories of how many travelers have booked a cut-rate package simply to find that the accommodations are below the standards they were expecting, or the location was far from the city’s main attractions… These are NOT deals; they are simply vacation spoilers that end up costing travelers more than money. At Travelhoppers, our focus is to provide travelers with the values they seek. We want to provide a forum for travelers to educate themselves.”
   Not only does Travelhoppers strive to make better travelers of us all, but it provides a place where travelers can connect easily with expert travel planners who are helpful in planning just about any kind of travel experience.  
   “Travelhoppers is a strong proponent of the true travel specialist,” says Earls. “Matching a travel planner’s areas of specialization to a traveler’s wish list is another way of discovering real value.
   Our goal at Travelhoppers is to help travelers find the right trip at the best price. We don’t want Travelhoppers to be just another travel site.  We want it to have personality.”
