VoyageTrek Travel, a recently launched Internet-based company, is the web’s newest go-to resource for adventure travel activities and vacations. Created for consumers, the website (currently a public beta) provides an easy-to-use search engine format that offers direct links and information on worldwide tour operators and outfitters and searches by both activity and destination.

The most comprehensive source for finding unique, specialty, educational and adventure travel tour operators, VoyageTrek Travel currently lists over 10,000 travel company profiles.   Hundreds of new tour operators are registering and submitting information on VoyageTrek Travel’s website each week, and listings offer detail of each company and their travel services and tours.

In addition, contextually relevant advertisements are clearly labeled and kept separate from VoyageTrek Travel’s free, unbiased tour operator listings. This ensures that curious adventure travelers receive the most comprehensive and unbiased search results possible, whether they’re seeking eco-tours in Africa or mountain bike tours in Utah.

Founded by ex-Microsoft executive Cliff Hawk, VoyageTrek Travel is a direct result of the power of the Internet and the founder’s passion for adventurous vacations and outdoor pursuits that “lift the spirit, feed the mind, and satisfy the soul.”

Operating with the mission to help people find their ideal adventures and vacations, VoyageTrek Travel strives to offer the deepest and broadest tour operator directory available on the web—and is free of charge.

The idea of VoyageTrek Travel arose from Hawk’s own frustrations in searching for guided adventure travel vacations.  He found that general search engines returned too many irrelevant results and that adventure travel information websites returned too few results and were essentially advertising sites since all listings were bought by the tour operators.

An adventurer himself, and former tour guide in Montana, Alaska and the Canadian Rockies, Cliff Hawk chose to remedy the difficulty of adventure travel online searches. Having spent a decade building new Internet services and businesses with such acclaimed companies as Dell Computer, aQuantive and Microsoft, Hawk is an expert in search engines and online media.

The progression to build VoyageTrek Travel [www.voyagetrek.com] was a natural one. Today, Hawk plays an active role supervising the day-to-day maintenance and constant upgrading of the ever-growing website.

An easy-to-use and free service for consumers, VoyageTrek Travel is the largest information source available for finding guided tours and adventure vacations worldwide. It stands out among competitors for its unbiased and comprehensive listings and simple format. Most other Internet adventure travel information websites are either paid directories or travel agencies, and therefore offer only limited and bias travel selections.

When using VoyageTrek Travel, consumers are privy to uncomplicated search and display tools that offer the ability to search for tour operators by any worldwide country or U.S. State where trips are offered. Also available is the ability to search by any of 60 different activities, grouped into 20 convenient categories such as Climbing, Culture and History, Extreme Adventure, and Walking, Trekking and Hiking. Results can then be displayed in a variety of ways to best suit each individual consumer.

Each listing provided offers information on travel providers and tour operators, and features a clickable link to that company’s website for further information, details and travel booking.

Adventure travel listings on VoyageTrek Travel are free and kept separate and distinct from advertisements on the website. In the quest to provide the deepest, broadest online information source for adventure travelers, VoyageTrek Travel offers a free service for tour operators to submit their company and tour information via VoyageTrek Travel’s online portal.

Tour operators benefit from listing their company information with free listings and increased exposure to travelers researching vacations online, specialty search and tour matching tools, and are also able to edit and control their company and tour information.

The next wave of VoyageTrek Travel is not far. By continuously adding and monitoring the website to be the most comprehensive source of information on specialty and adventure travel vacations, the amount of information and number of easy-to-use features will only grow.

VoyageTrek Travel looks forward to adding even more exciting features as they secure their position as a leading resource for adventure travel information and listings. In the future, users can expect to find additional types of information including travel agent and informational website listings, consumer and tour operator community features, real-time inventory information and advertising programs to best pair travelers with their ideal adventure vacation.
