816 Belated TripAdvisor
I'm going to take you to a restaurant called Chef's Table, and as for why I chose this restaurant, I have to mention Tripadvisor, which generally gives awards of excellence to hotels, attractions, and restaurants that consistently receive positive reviews from travelers.
Basically, hotels, attractions or restaurants that have won the Certificate of Excellence will not disappoint everyone when they come, and the next restaurant we are going to is the restaurant that has won the Award of Excellence and can also rank among the top three restaurants in the local area!"
Whether it is some of the people in the live broadcast room, or He Xiaoman sitting next to him, he can basically understand the general meaning of Zhang Yang's words, it is nothing more than that the restaurant he is going to next to is a restaurant that has won the Excellence Award and can rank in the top three, but the general meaning is understood, but the specific meaning is understood.
No, when Zhang Yang planned to take a look at the barrage in the live broadcast room again, He Xiaoman couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Husband, what are you talking about this Tripadvisor? Is it similar to a food rating agency or something? Just like that Michelin?"
He Xiaoman's tone seemed to be a little uncertain, after all, it was unknown.
Of course, the reason why she is not sure is that it is entirely because Zhang Yang just mentioned in the introduction that this name is called Tripadvisor to give out awards of excellence for those hotel attractions and restaurants based on good reviews, which should be more than just a food rating agency, but it seems to be similar.
Cautiously driving on the road in accordance with the local traffic rules, Zhang Yang, who had just turned on the low beams, was driving there while looking at the night outside, and when he heard He Xiaoman's inquiry, he subconsciously replied.
"Oh, Tripadvisor is actually the world's leading travel website, providing reviews and recommendations from travelers around the world, and comprehensive coverage of hotels, attractions, restaurants, airlines, as well as travel planning and hotel, attraction, and restaurant reservations around the world.
In addition, TripAdvisor and its websites have branches in 49 markets around the world, and the average monthly unique visits can reach 415 million!"
Just after hearing He Xiaoman's inquiry, Zhang Yang subconsciously said what he knew, but after finishing speaking, he heard him smile lightly, and then said happily.
"This website can be said to be an indispensable travel website for all travelers abroad, whether it is a hotel to stay in, a scenic spot worth visiting, or even a restaurant where we are going to taste the food next, just need you to go according to the evaluation, and you will accurately find the place worth visiting.
And it's interesting to say that the site first appeared in 2000, when TripAdvisor was actually founded in a small office above a pizzeria in Boston.
And the co-founder and current CEO at the time, Te Phen Kaufer, once told the story behind the creation of TripAdvisor, saying that he and his wife were planning a trip to Mexico at that time, because they were not sure which hotel to choose, and at that time there was very little reference information shared by travelers online, so the idea of building a travel website was born.
This is the power of being a veteran traveler, who wants to go out but doesn't have a similar website, so he simply makes one himself, which is like a foodie's ultimate pursuit of food.
In fact, the company was not founded as a website with user-generated review content, but more to display official content such as travel newspapers, magazines, guides, etc., at that time, there was only a small function on the website to 'add your reviews', which was a very inconspicuous and unappreciated small function, but soon the number of user reviews exceeded the number of 'professional reviews'.
You can think about it, at a time when more and more people want to travel abroad, there is suddenly such a website that shares scenic spots, hotels and food around the world, people will definitely not be limited to just listening to those professional reviews, and tourists' independent reviews can be developed along the general trend, after all, the same identity can be recognized by others.
Since then, TripAdvisor has really started to become a UGC platform for travel information and reviews, so it is basically certain that everyone who wants to travel abroad and want to find those fun and delicious foods only need to find those places with high praise on this website, and you can guarantee that you will not be disappointed!"
After Zhang Yang's detailed explanation, He Xiaoman, who was sitting next to him, said in a complaining tone.
"Anyway, my dear husband, why didn't you say it earlier if there was such a good website?
Hmph, don't you know that every time you go to find those hotels and places to eat, your wife and I have to go through a lot of trouble on the Internet to click on those web pages to find the target, it's too much!"
Speaking of which, it is no wonder that He Xiaoman has a little resentment after knowing this website, after all, Zhang Yang is basically only responsible for the explanation of various scenic spots, and what she is responsible for is to look everywhere on the Internet when she wants to stay in a hotel, even if the two of them plan to go out to eat, they have to browse one website after another to finally confirm the goal, and even because of this, because they have not been recommended by more tourists like that website, they have found the wrong place several times.
For example, this time when she went to the treehouse hotel, she first looked at the satellite map for a long time, and then found a lot of various travel bloggers from China to share, and she didn't know how many pages were opened on the browser, and she finally found this treehouse hotel by accident.
Zhang Yang, who was driving, heard He Xiaoman's resentful tone, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly, he really didn't notice this, after all, it is not a common thing for the two of them to go to find a hotel to stay or find a restaurant to eat, and if he only goes once in a while, he doesn't pay attention to it, but ignores the difficulty of his wife to find it.
"Eh, hehe, my fault, in this way, Xiaoman, you will directly search for TripAdvisor on the Internet later, and you can also directly use our domestic web search for 'TripAdvisor', which is the Chinese name of this website." ”
Zhang Yang, who knew that he was in the wrong, quickly said the name of the website, and then immediately tried to change the topic.
"Hehe, I was wrong, I'll take you to the restaurant we're going to to enjoy the food, this is the third restaurant, if it weren't for the fact that the first two Thai dishes are not so delicious, I would have taken you to the first two!"
