Last few weeks where pretty exciting… We had great feedback from all over the world and last week we had a few very good meetings in Los Angeles. (More about that later 
Never been in LA before but turned out I really liked it. Well, I must admit I like most US cities. My foreign ‘hometown’ is still Miami but San Francisco and now LA are great California spots.
I might come more often to the USA since we have a new VP USA in our company. We started as a Dutch company but now we are really focusing on the USA. Actually we are considering to have our HQ over there. It’s not all finalized yet but it sure looks that way.
We had an incredible amount of feedback from all over the world. Filmmakers from the US via UK to Asia all contacted us and are looking forward to shoot some good hotel video reviews. We like that, we like content – the more the better! So, if you think you can bring us some content and you can shoot some hotels… don’t hesitate and upload your videos.

As the first worldwide video portal, Tripr.TV is launching a service in which travelers can easily publish video reviews of hotels. Filmmakers receive a commission when the video results in a booking of the filmed hotel.
Now everyone can easily publish and share videos via Tripr.TV. As soon as other travelers place a booking after watching a video review, the publisher of the film will receive one third of the commission fee. The customary commission rate in the hotel industry varies between 5 and 15 percent per reservation.
The videos are published on the Tripr.TV website as well as on other websites, which will increase the exposure and the income of the published film. Tripr.TV creates a unique virtual marketplace for video content in the travel industry.
Jan Kooman, founder of Tripr.TV: “we are basically a kind of YouTube for the travel industry. Everyone can publish their own videos. Hotels are marked with a flag on Google Maps so you can easily spot in which area a hotel is situated. Because videos are created by the travelers themselves, you will get a good impression of the hotel before making a booking. Moving images are much more realistic then the, often outdated, pictures of hotels.
