St. Louis, Missouri – August 8, 2017 – Tripster, providing travelers tickets to theme parks, shows, tours, and attractions as well as hotels in specific travel destinations, today announced the launch of San Francisco. The new destination marks the company’s third California market, joining San Diego (2014) and Los Angeles (2016), and the second major destination in the past year.
Known for such landmarks as the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco hosts nearly 25 million visitors annually and is ranked as a Top 10 U.S. destination by both Skift and TripAdvisor. With the launch of San Francisco, the company looks to bring its vacation planning technology and selling strategies to these visitors, as well as, its own traveler base of over 3 million consumers.
“San Francisco presents a fantastic new opportunity for Tripster,” stated John Johnson, President and CEO of Tripster. “Not unlike New York City, San Francisco is a very diverse city where visitors can partake in a wide range of iconic sights and activities, as well as a variety of cultural experiences that we are excited to be a part of selling.”
Different than other online travel websites, Tripster provides a destination specific, dedicated content website where consumers are able to research, plan and book not only activities, tours, and attractions, but also bundle those with lodging. Through this bundling, consumers not only get the convenience of the one-stop-shop for vacation planning but also the benefit of savings through customizable packages.
