Travelindicator is a destination discovery tool that helps you discover and explore your world.

Travelindicator takes an interactive and data-driven approach to generating travel ideas. While the rest of the travel world is still writing extensive travel guides that go into minute detail of travel destinations you had already chosen to travel to anyway, our travel idea generator is all about putting you in charge and letting you discover, explore and share potential holiday destinations on your own.

We currently cover nearly 1,000 destinations across 200 countries for which we write short and sometimes brutally honest reviews. For each place we assess how much every one of 23 standard travel themes (such as beaches, mountains, romantic or adventurous) applies to it, and provide you some basic information on the cost level, weather and attractions. Our users can upvote or downvote the themes per destination to make the mapping as accurate as possible, which in turn helps others to discover them.
