TripAdvisor has also released a new tablet app exclusively for the iPad, that integrates metasearch and dynamic maps functionality and offers a finger-friendly touch interface.

Adam Medros, vice president of global products for TripAdvisor stated at the launch: “With more than one-third of our traffic coming to TripAdvisor from a tablet or smartphone device, we are constantly working to improve our mobile offerings to build the most engaging and enjoyable experience for our users. Travel is an inherently on-the-go experience, and we want people to get the most out of our resources on any device, anywhere.”
