Triptide Canada is co-founded by Peter Richards (UK) and Angie Barnard (CA
) and is supported by a dedicated team of writers, technology experts, marketing gurus, suppliers & tourism industry partners. FOR TRAVELERS: we provide information, destination engagement and a variety of easy-to-use purchase options using social media, direct sales promotions (e.g. auctions, daily deals, emails, etc.), direct connection to the biggest collection of experiences in Canadian destinations and mobile/online bookings. FOR TRADE MEMBERS: we offer a new distribution channel for your product or service with no upfront advertising, set up or ongoing annual fees. We operate on a commission only basis, with varied rates for retailers, tour operators, attractions. Trade members retain full control of inventory, photos, product description, and will ultimately be able to promote products through specials and promotions. Opportunity also exists for you to use your Triptide profile and online booking platform for your own proprietary use – e.g. FOR INDUSTRY: we provide solutions for user-generated content, sales and commission sharing of our database of products/services, comprehensive destination marketing campaigns including micro-websites, mobile applications. We do all the work to implement:

• Social Media content - Facebook, Google+, Instagram and Twitter will be used to promote destinations and niche activities, generate enquiries to suppliers and develop interest in the community content.
• Search Engine Optimization – All location, activity and product pages will be optimised for search with the aim of maximising organic traffic. We will do this by targeting popular yet achievable search terms and optimising pages with chosen keywords.
