After selecting a destination from the list of possibilities, Tripadvisor provides a large amount of information on things to do in the area. There are long lists of attractions, restaurants and accommodations, many of which have a long list of reviews.
Choose what activity interests you most (casinos, adventure, shopping etc.) and then select from the general area of where you'd like to vacation (Europe, Caribbean, Asia and more).
The content provided has a big emphasis on businesses (attractions, restaurants, and places to stay). The general overview of the location is usually short, with little to no information on things like currency, transportation, and cost.
If you're on a budget, the explore map is a great feature for figuring out where you can fly to for cheap.
Prices of the cheapest flight from your location are listed beside the name of each city located on the map.
The destinations page offers a few different features. You can select an area on the map, which will give you a list of possible locations that you can explore.
"Popular destinations" provides a list of...well, popular destinations!
"Whisk me away" will take you to the page of a random destination.
Tribes is split into 19 different travel styles (backpackers, LGBTQ+, vegetarian, history buffs, culture, etc.). Clicking on a tribe will show you guides about destinations that are relevant to your interests.
gogobot has an "Ask a question" feature where you can inquire about your potential destination, and get answers from both locals and frequent travelers.
The businesses and attractions listed on gogobot are not kept up to date, so some of the places listed are now closed.
If you are basing your vacation choice on specific businesses or attractions, double check to make sure they are still open.
