NEW COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT: INSIDER’S PASSPORT

Williamsburg, VA based company plans to evolve the online travel experience.

Williamsburg, Virginia, September 23, 2008 – A new travel company has been created in Williamsburg, VA to address the growth in online vacation planning. Insider’s Passport offers a comprehensive online travel website that is designed to give travelers a “local perspective” during the trip planning process.

The company is uniquely focused on creating a quality, hospitable online travel planning experience, a website where people can actually enhance their vacation plans and save money with printable coupons from restaurants and attractions in their destination city. Travelers can read and participate in Travel Blogs to find out what other travelers have to say about their destination city; updated information ranging from family outings to trendy hot spots.

“We want to take the guesswork out of traveling by sharing our destination research and giving people a local perspective when they are making their online travel plans. We research and showcase restaurants and attractions, including local favorites that they may not have otherwise come across,” says Co-Founder, Michelle Parr. “74% of people plan their leisure travel online and oftentimes the Internet can be a cold, unwelcoming place. Our website experience has a community-feel. It’s a place where people can count on getting relevant, useful information to enhance their experience in their vacation city.”

Co-founders Robin Strup and Michelle Parr have created an online forum where quality advertisers and online vacation planners collaborate to create an outstanding travel experience. Insider’s Passport currently features Williamsburg, VA, Virginia Beach, VA and Memphis, TN, as destination locations, with plans to aggressively add other U.S. vacation destinations in the upcoming months. The company will work with a select group of advertisers to bring travelers discount coupons to preferred area restaurants and attractions.
