The internet has become a huge resource for researching and planning vacations and trips. Some websites have become more creative about the search criteria they make available to users. TravelMatch is another take on this concept, giving users many unique search options to come up with the perfect travel plans. Users can narrow down their options by searching for things like temperature, children’s facilities, food and drink availability, flight duration, pool, relaxation and spa, activities, water sports, entertainment, board basis, number of nights and departure location among other criteria. Through these options, users can look beyond the standard where and when to come up with travel plans that meet the needs of themselves and any friends or family members who will be accompanying them.

TravelMatch.co.uk was founded by CEO Alex Francis in the United Kingdom. Francis claims that research shows approximately 70% of travelers decide what they want to do while they are away before determining where they will go. Using this idea, Francis came up with the various search options available through TravelMatch, which somehow manages to be different despite the numerous existing travel related resources already out there.

What really makes TravelMatch unique is the site’s approach to searching for travel options. By focusing on the idea that most people decide what they want to do before deciding where they want to go, TravelMatch presents a list of helpful criteria to refine the user’s search. This allows users to select many things that they otherwise would have had to plan after they decided where to go.

TravelMatch welcomes users with a gentle grey, blue and green color scheme. The website is very well organized and easy to understand. Users can quickly adapt to the layout and find the search tools they are looking for. Setting some of the criteria, such as budget, star rating and user rating, can be done using blue slider bars. Other criteria can be found in the left hand side bar menu. Three links at the top allow the user to toggle between holidays and ski vacations or the homepage.

TravelMatch offers a helpful service that does not require a registration. Anyone can stop by the website and begin looking for their next dream vacation. There is no registration form available at this time. An account might be a nice touch to allow users to save searches or build their travel plans online, however this would require adding significant updates to the website. For now, TravelMatch provides users with a great service that doesn’t require a log in.

How much the user spends on TravelMatch really depends on their budget and travel plans. The website itself does not charge users a subscription fee or other amount for use. There is no registration form, either. That being said, a user can spend quite a bit on a holiday by finding new, exciting things to do and places to visit through TravelMatch. Spending may happen, but it is not a requirement.

TravelMatch is a helpful service for anyone planning a trip. The site is geared more towards pleasure travelers, although business travelers may be able to get use out of it as well. The search criteria is diverse and allows users to build a trip tailored to their specifications.
