Tripr.TV - First Video Portal to Pay Travellers for Their Holiday Movies
AMSTERDAM, January 30 /PRNewswire/ -- As the first worldwide video portal, Tripr.TV (http://www.tripr.tv) is launching a service in which travellers can easily publish video reviews of hotels. Filmmakers receive a commission when the video results in a booking of the filmed hotel. Now everyone can easily publish and share videos via Tripr.TV. As soon as other travellers place a booking after watching a video review, the publisher of the film will receive one third of the commission fee. The customary commission rate in the hotel industry varies between 5 and 15 percent per reservation. The videos are published on the Tripr.TV website as well as on other websites, which will increase the exposure and the income of the published film. Tripr.TV creates a unique virtual marketplace for video content in the travel industry. Jan Kooman, founder of Tripr.TV: "We are basically a kind of YouTube for the travel industry. Everyone can publish their own videos. Hotels are marked with a flag on Google Maps so you can easily spot in which area a hotel is situated. Because videos are created by the travellers themselves, you will get a good impression of the hotel before making a booking. Moving images are much more realistic then the, often outdated, pictures of hotels." About Tripr.TV Tripr.TV is the first video portal with hotel reviews where the traveller gets a good sense of the hotel and its surroundings before he places a reservation. Within the travel industry, Tripr.TV distinguishes itself by tuning in to the huge popularity of streaming videos and user generated content. The online booking of a hotel is made more transparent by adding video footage of hotel rooms, facilities and their locations. This offers travellers a more independent view of their travel destination. Tripr.TV Management Team Founders Jan Kooman and Corly Bedacht are responsible for daily management. Kooman is Founder of Topclick.nl, market leader in the Netherlands (SME sector) in search engine marketing. Bedacht is founder of Mailmydisc.com, the largest Dutch online DVD- and CD exchange.
