Mobissimo, the company that I wrote up as the Google of Travel Searches in TIME a few years back, is out with a new feature. It’s called the Activity Search. Instead of just punching in where and when you want to travel, select an activity that you might want to partake in and wallah — results galore!
Spontaneous travel ready junkies will love it. So will yuppies that have to plan yet another anniversary trip. Anybody who’s been bored to tears with the same two week vacation will be inspired. And oh the story leads for us travel writers.
- LAX to skiing doesn’t just bring up Aspen, Denver, and Vail — but also Slovakia, Austria, France, Argentina, and Japan, among others.
- Why not try SFO to Volcanos
- NYC to Forgotten Wonders. Forgotten Wonders just might be the most inspiring of all the options.
Of course my bet is that Beaches quickly becomes their most popular activity. And yes, it’s brand new as of today, so there’s room to grow. In the gambling department for example. That activity is rather bare. I look forward to Macau, Paris, Baden Germany, London, and Melbourne being added to the list.
Other actvities include Acquarium, Beach, Film Festivals, Forgotten Wonders, Gamblng, Golf, Modern Wonders, Museums, Seven Wonders, Opera Houses, Ski, Spas, Spring Training, Surfing, Tallest Buildings, Theme Parks, Trekking, Volcanoes, WIne Tasting, Zoo.
Try it, it’s so much FUN!
