Simply put, a Trip is a list of hotels, restaurants and things to do that you find on TripAdvisor and want to save as a group. But that's just the beginning. You can add notes for each place you save, and a map of those places is automatically generated.

If you're planning travel, you can use Trips to build your itinerary. But you can also use Trips to save places of interest for future expeditions – like attractions you learned about from your favourite travel show or blog, or things to check out on your next road trip.

By default, only you can see your Trips. But Trips can be made public, and they're a great way to help others discover new places – like suggestions for an architecture tour, a list of novelty cocktail bars, a collection of hidden gems or advice for travelling with children or pets.
