“Guerilla” Start-up Disrupts the Travel Industry

LOS ANGELES - April 21, 2013 - PRLog -- Guerilla Getaways wants travelers to have the vacation of a lifetime, without spending a lifetime planning the trip. It’s a revolutionary idea in today’s hectic world, where many travelers are discouraged from taking exciting trips due to the amount of planning required. Travelers often settle for boring, yet easy-to-plan vacations or they turn to traditional travel agents, whose advice can be biased by commissions.

Guerilla Getaways is a team of experienced world travelers, who independently build vacation itineraries from scratch, based on what a customer is interested in and what they can afford. The company handles all of the research for a trip, but lets customers make the final reservations. This approach saves time, eliminates commissions, and keeps vacation planning focused on the customer.

The start-up also stands out with its focus on providing practical information. According to Guerilla Getaways’ website, each itinerary comes “with a practical guide featuring detailed information on how to get around, useful phrases in the local language, and other essentials.” This guide positions Guerilla Getaways as a hybrid, combining the hip, insider knowledge of indie travel books with the planning capabilities of a professional travel agency.

Director, Nick Raithel, has over 20 years of experience traveling and working internationally. His experiences as a globetrotter include backpacking across Eastern Europe, working as a journalist in Hong Kong, and surfing the East Coast of Australia. Nick has continued traveling to this day and often writes itineraries for the company, on location.
