New travel packages broaden travel company’s offering.
Having recently unveiled a mature, fresh new look, destination unknown travel company srprs.me has now added a range of extra booking options, giving travellers the choice to customise their level of accommodation and extend travel beyond Europe.
Following a successful first year in the UK and four years in business across Europe, srprs.me’s trip booking system has previously catered predominantly to the 18-35 year-old market – and quite successfully with more than 75,000 travellers so far. The new company identity – now live on the srprs.me website – will appeal to a broader range of travellers, from the price conscious student, to the young honeymooners, to the family travelling together.
The booking process remains simple, but a new interface means users will find they have a longer list of filters that will ensure their trip meets their needs. For example, having originally focussed on European city breaks, the travel company is now offering travellers the opportunity to discover destinations further afield by introducing an option that excludes European destinations entirely*.
Accommodation options have also changed, as travellers can now select from a wider range of lodging standards from hostels to five star boutique hotels**. And add-ons such as checked-luggage and breakfast at the hotel can now also be booked too.
“We have had great success with the 18-35 year-old market but we want everyone, of all ages and demographics, to embrace the srprs.me approach to travel”, says Raymond Klompsma, co-founder and CEO of srprs.me.
“Since day one, our aim has been to create amazing travel experiences – wanderlust adventures that burst with spontaneity and excitement”, Klompsma continued, “we want to encourage more people to embrace the srprs.me way of thinking but in order to do so, we understand we need to still put certain decisions in the hands of the traveller so that they have the best experience possible once they arrive in their destination.”
