Telegraph Travel has announced the launch of its new website. Following the completion of the redesigned Telegraph website last week, the Travel site now combines trusted independent reviews and recommendations from Telegraph experts with the ability to book through trusted partners.
The new site allows readers to plan their next holiday using tried and tested recommendations from the Telegraph’s team of travel experts and award-winning writers. Over 3,000 hotels have been tried and tested by independent experts, with every facet of the property reviewed – from its location, style and service to the facilities, rooms and value for money.
The site now offers comprehensive guides to over 150 destinations worldwide using resident experts, with a further 30 specialists covering every travel category, from cruise, rail and tours to consumer advice, health and security.
With search functionality in place for the first time, users will now be able to access a database of 25,000 articles – including in-depth reviews and guides, inspirational features, galleries, news and advice.
The website was unveiled earlier today at the Telegraph Travel Awards, where the results of the Telegraph readers’ vote on their favourite travel destinations, operators and experiences were revealed.
Among other features revealed at the Awards by The Telegraph’s Executive Head of Travel, Charles Starmer-Smith, was a curated selection of commerce partners – from Scenic and Steppes Travel to Abercrombie & Kent and Andante – which allow users to take advantage of a range of exclusive offers, experiences and escorted tours. For example, journeys down the Danube with John Simpson, Africa with Jeremy Paxman, China with Kate Adie and Switzerland with Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
Live data also feeds from The Telegraph’s hotel partners, including Booking.com and Mr & Mrs Smith, giving users access to the latest prices, images, maps and allow for a price guarantee on all bookings.
Over the coming months, new functionality will be rolled out across hotels, tours, cruise and exclusive offers, new partners will be added and improvements to the semantic search technology will also allow for more targeted, personalised results.
