talkholiday is an online travel and events-themed social networking service, aiming to provide a 'one-stop shop' for fellow-travellers to plan and book their trip. The website provides a platform for members, who are planning to go to the same destination or event, to meet each other online before they travel. talkholiday also provides a discounted booking for service including: hotels; holidays; activities; and car hire. Should they lose their passport, mobile phone or bags while they are away, members can access the site's 'crisis support' service. Based in Glasgow, Scotland, talkholiday was launched at the World Travel Market, London, in 2013. ==History== talkholiday was founded by Scottish entrepreneur Chris Newlands, aiming to provide a 'one-stop shop' for fellow-travellers to plan and book their trip. Newlands set up the site after his stepson found himself unable to link up with like-minded travellers prior to a trip to Ibiza.〔 Based in Glasgow city centre, the service was launched at the World Travel Market, London in November 2013. Operated by Talk Holiday Ltd, talkholiday opened to members in 2014.〔 According to Newlands, talkholiday's 'crisis support' feature came from "a nightmare holiday in Egypt when my wife became ill and my phone was stolen and I was desperately trying to contact the UK for help". Amanda Wills, former managing director of Virgin Holidays and the first woman appointed to the board at Airtours PLC, joined the board in April 2015. Wills, who has been described by Richard Branson as "a legend within the travel industry", is based in London. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Talkholiday」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
