Travel app WeTrip focuses on travel activities instead of beds and food
Skift Take
WeTrip hopes its focus on travel activities will set it apart in the inundated social travel market, but it will need to learn lessons from all who've gone before (and already pivoted).
WeTrip is a new social travel platform recently released to the App Store for iOS.
The Israeli application, formerly known as Backpack Network, allows travelers to access real-time social-driven feedback and information about where to visit, what to do and where to stay, as well as where to find like-minded people to travel with.
