2. What is Travellerspoint?
Travellerspoint is a website that joins people who
share a love of traveling together. On the website,
members can interact and share their stories,
pictures, and advice with others.
"The goal of Travellerspoint is to create an international meeting point
for travellers worldwide, whether they are planning their travels,
currently travelling or have returned from their travels and want to stay in
touch with (or find) those travel friends they met while travelling in the
past."

3. The History of
Travellerspoint
• The idea of Travellerspoint came about
in a MSN Messenger chat in 2002.
!
• The two creators both traveled a lot
during their lives and thought of creating
a website that made it possible to keep
in touch with people they met on their
travels.
!
• Three months after their MSN Messenger
chat, Travellerspoint was launched.

10. Conclusion
"Travellerspoint's objective is to enrich the travelling experience by offering
numerous services, content and products that have significant perceived and added
value for travellers worldwide. To travel means to meet other people, experience their
cultures and to make, but also to keep good friends. By bringing more people together
- albeit before, during or after travelling - Travellerspoint will create more
understanding for different cultures and countries and ultimately a better world for
everyone to travel in."
