TravelMuse Adds Mapping Capabilities to Planning Tool

TravelMuse has added a new Travel Planner that integrates powerful mapping technology with organization, scheduling and collaboration tools so travelers can plan trips more easily. The new TravelMuse Bookmarker now allows you to browse the web freely and then save your favorite research centrally.

The TravelMuse Planner, you can view your research on an interactive map, create a schedule and find other popular items based upon the research you have saved. TravelMuse lets site visitors view trips that others have created and see the most popular attractions, restaurants, hotels and shops. Site visitors can use interactive maps to explore and save research to your Trip.

To publicize the site and its new capabilities, TravelMuse has partnered with the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau (HVCB) to give away a luxury trip for two to Oahu through the “Create a Trip on TravelMuse, Win Your Perfect Moment in Hawaii” sweepstakes.

The winner will receive ground transportation and roundtrip airfare for two to Honolulu, courtesy of HVCB, and a five-night stay at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Anyone who registers and creates a Trip on TravelMuse from now until July 16, 2010, can enter.
