Guidebooks and crowdsourced travel websites compete with advice on where to go. But the new site Trekkel attempts to automate a trip designer's job by asking users to rate their interests and itemizing a custom list of recommendations in return.
The free site asks users to pick one of 15 United States cities currently covered and rate their interests in going there, using a scale of 0 to 5 over a dozen categories including food and drink, architecture/design, family adventures, shopping and offbeat.
The computer cranks the numbers and returns with custom lists of things to do, including top sights, restaurants, hotels and activities based on your interest criteria. Those lists can further be sorted by price, meals served and time of day when open.
"It will work for someone who wants to just parachute in on a quick trip, but really the sweet spot is for someone who wants to make good use of their time," said Chris Drowin, who founded Trekkel to serve travelers like himself, who love to plan. "It enables people to spend their time reading about cool museum collections and city history rather than which of 27 Italian restaurants they should eat at."
All recommendations are plotted on a Google map, enabling users to see what is around them, though that feature will most likely become more useful once Trekkel launches a mobile application next year. Also on the horizon early in 2014: London and Paris.
