Elevator pitch
66% of travelers watch videos before or during a trip. Whether visiting a new city or simply having dinner in town, consumers care about their experience; preferring to “see” it than “read” about it. Unfortunately, visual sites like Youtube have a messy ecosystem making location based discovery very difficult. Tripblazr makes it simple to organize, map, discover, and display location videos.
