The Launch of Overlanding Community will Ensure an Effective Platform for Group Travellers to Provide Feedback to Overland Companies and their Services, as well as Serving as a Hub of Opinions for Those Looking for Advice Before Travelling and Staying in Touch Afterwards.
UK, London, December 2006 - The lack of independent information and opinions on overland operators became obvious in early 2005 when researching for available trips. However, on returning a year later after having travelled the world, nothing had changed. Therefore, overlandingcommunity.com was born to redress the situation.
Although well known travel forums provide limited feedback, it is sometimes difficult to find specific answers and the same questions get asked over and over again. The majority of people are looking for advice about a trip or a company. Therefore, providing a reference point specifically geared for overlanding should fill the gap.
It will provide travellers information to make a more informed decision and gain a better insight into what to expect. Considering the cost of these excursions, ranging from hundreds to thousands of pounds, it is not a decision to be taken lightly.
Overlanding community is a young site but already has had extremely positive feedback from the within the industry and general public, with a growing number of registered members. It looks forward to working as part of the travel community for travellers.
