Experiencing a trip is always more enjoyable than planning it. Now, planning the trip of your dreams just became a whole lot easier! The trip of a lifetime is awaiting you, and Utrip is available to assist you in planning your entire itinerary! Since 2011, the digital trip planning platform Utrip.com has helped travelers save both time and money with their quick and easy trip planning services and pre-planned, themed trips.

Utrip is a simple, quick and authentic way to plan an entire trip and a completely personalized itinerary for travelers. By using special algorithms, Utrip can narrow down users’ likes and dislikes to create their personalized itinerary faster than other platforms.

“Planning an international trip is not easy and people are often overwhelmed with the abundant information available today. Using proprietary algorithms, the Utrip platform is able to quickly pick out the activities and dining experiences each unique individual loves and schedules them into a customized itinerary,” said Lynn Chou, Utrip’s director of media and communications.

Founded in 2011, Utrip is a startup company based in Seattle, Wash. created to cater to modern day travelers who plan for their trip digitally. After users input their travel preferences such as art, nature, history, museum, shopping, pace and budget, Utrip sorts through its thousands of activities, events and restaurants to find the ones that best fit users’ unique interests. In less than five minutes and after a few simple steps, anyone can create an adventure of their dreams.

The team at Utrip wants to give everyone the opportunity to discover the world firsthand and to spend more time actually having adventures rather than planning them. Consisting of a group of passionate travelers with a strong love for technology, the team is comprised of content creators who have knowledge of the destinations and decide which venues to include in the database. An advantage that Utrip has compared to competitors is their large global network of local experts that are residents in the featured cities. This global network of locals helps to curate the database and create authentic itineraries to help ensure that travelers only go to the best places of the city.

Users can choose from various featured trips revolving around certain themes such as Art & Design, Budget, History, Food & Wine, Movies, Romantic & Honeymoon and Fashion & Shopping. If users wish to leave everything to the planners, then they can choose from 37 different pre-planned, themed trips with titles like Midnight In Paris, Indulge In Italy, Harry Potter Sights of London, The Pop Culture of Dublin and A Fashionable Getaway to Milan, that highlight certain aspects of the city.

“Although these are pre-designed trips with activities and dining options hand-picked by the city experts, one of Utrip’s biggest differentiators is personalization. These pre-built itineraries are a starting point. A traveler can select any of these featured trips and further customize to create their perfect trip, by changing budget level or any of the other travel preferences like art or adventure,” said Chou.

Utrip has just released their newest fashion-focused trip to Milan, A Fashionable Getaway to Milan. Some of the highlights include luxury shopping at places like the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and districts like Quadrilatero della Moda; looking back at the history of art and fashion in Milan at Palazzo Reale; experiencing architecture, design and graphic art at La Triennale di Milano; and tasting native foods at cafés designed by some of the fashion world powerhouses like Dolce and Gabbana and Emporio Armani.

Last February, Utrip added a new set of features and destinations in Spain, Italy and Portugal. Today, Utrip helps plan trips to 23 popular European destinations. In addition to the high profile partnership with Expedia, Utrip’s newest travel partners, including Yelp, Viator, Foursquare, viagogo, Rome2Rio, Eyewitness and Tourwrist, will deliver even more value to users.

Over the last few months, the platform has more than doubled its European destination coverage and it plans to continue to add more European destinations and also incorporating more romantic-inspired travel itineraries for couples going on their honeymoon. The team will also begin to shift its direction to the Americas by adding domestic trips in the United States.

With this modern day method of vacation preparation fully underway, Utrip makes the trip-planning process easier, less stressful and even something to look forward to.
