Great Things Are Waiting at the Trip Moments Community

Introducing the Trip Moments Community; a place where travel-obsessed individuals come together to share their favourite travel experiences. From amazing photos to personal recommendations and need-to-know tips, it’s a community where you can connect with like-minded travellers, sharing your secrets and finding out theirs. Whether you want to gain inspiration or inspire others, the Trip Moments community is your go-to place for all things travel. Most importantly though, it’s a place where no matter how far you wander, you’ll always feel at home.

A bit of a backstory – in 2019, leading travel services provider, Trip.com launched Trip Moments Community in order to connect travellers all over the globe. Since then, it’s brought together experienced jetsetters, influencers, travel agencies and everyday explorers, all wanting to turn their memories into moments. Is this the place for you? There’s only one way to find out…

Ready to share the places you love with people who will love them too? It’s easy to join the Trip Moments Community. Just follow these simple steps:

Whether you’re a travel expert or a wanderlust novice, the Trip Moments Community is a place for everyone. Here are a few ways you can make the most of your experience and connect with other travellers:

1) Give your profile a personal touch with an avatar and display name

2) Engage with other travellers by liking, commenting and sharing their post

3) Post your own Trip Moments for the community to see - just tap the ‘+’ icon

Positing a Trip Moment is easy, but posting a great Trip Moment requires a little more work. Don’t worry, help is on hand. Here are some suggestions to get you started:

1) Choose good photos. Pick at least 3 photos that show your surroundings and give others a real feel of the location. Prominent landmarks and beautiful vistas tend to attract the most attention. And the more attention, the more engagement you’ll get.

2) If your photos aren’t the best quality or you’d just like to enhance them, you can edit your photos and add filters to make them more visually appealing.

3) Let others know what makes your Trip Moment so special. For example, do you have any recommendations for other travellers? Where is this photo location and how do you get there? What was your itinerary? Include at least 30 relevant words that could help other travellers.

4) Select a location. Use the search function to find the correct location. Wherever possible, select the name of the attraction and not just where it is located.

5) Add relevant hashtags to your description to help your Trip Moment reach a wider audience. Things like #beautifulscenery #travelphotography #sunset…you get the idea.

6) Agree to the Terms & Conditions.

7) Publish!

Trip Moments Badges are a way of recognising your contributions, and letting others know you’re someone who makes a big difference to the Trip Moments Community. As the community continues to grow, new and more challenging badges will roll out across the platform – watch this space. To get a sense of what’s on offer, let’s take a closer look at some of the badges available now, including some cool new arrivals:

Reviewer Badges recognise prolific contributors. The more unique destinations and attractions you post about, the more credits you’ll earn towards your reviewer badges. Posted 1 Trip Moment? You’ve started the process. Posted 2? You’re on your way. Posted 3? You’ve officially made it to a Junior Reviewer. And this is where the real action starts to happen. Don’t stop there though, with 5 posts you’ll get your Senior Reviewer Badge and with 10, the Graduate Reviewer Badge will be all yours.

Travel is fundamentally about exploration. After all, discovering new places is exhilarating, forging new paths and setting trails for others to follow. The Explorer Badges recognise those who manage to get around, posting Trip Moments from different places all over the world. Get yourself to five places and you’ll earn your Junior Explorer Badge. Make it to 10 different places and you’ll rank among the Trip Moments Senior Explorers. But it doesn’t end there. Add another 10 unique places to your Trip Moments and you’ve got yourself the Graduate Explorer Badge. So, you know those places on your bucket list? Now’s the time to start ticking them off.

Inspired by those who run marathons and cycle triathlons, Perseverance Badges show that you’re downright dedicated. Have you signed into your account for a whole week straight? The Tenacity Badge is coming your way. Have you managed to do it for another week straight? Congratulations, you’ve made it to the Half Marathon Badge. You get the idea? Basically, you’ve just got to keep on powering through.
