Mytripguru.com is an online travel guidebook that provides reviews on things to do around the world. At its heart, Mytripguru is built on a principle of simplicity. Information is easy to find – whether it is by travel destination or by activity type. The network of Trip Gurus helps visitors plan a trip based on advice from knowledgeable experts who have similar travel interests.
Guru Points System – How does it work?
Each contribution on the site generates Guru Points for the member, known on the site as a Trip Guru. Reviews by well-established Trip Gurus carry special weight because of their valuable contributions to the travel community.
Points are earned in the following ways:
- Adding an activity review +5 Guru Points
- Daily log in +1 Guru Point
- When a review is voted as helpful +1 Guru Point
- Completing a Trip Guru profile +1 Guru Point
- Adding a link to your Trip Guru profile +1 Guru Point
- Adding a portrait to your Trip Guru profile +5 Guru Points
- Commenting on another Review or Trip Guru profile +1 Guru Point
In the future, there will be additional ways to earn points, such as for referring a friend to join the site. In the end though, the system will always reward those who are active in helping out the travel community.
Simple and intuitive navigation
Mytripguru uses a simple set of filters to get to information quickly and efficiently. You can narrow your search according to various criteria until the desired level of granularity is reached. This also applies to Trip Gurus, who you can also filter to find knowledgeable experts in a combination of destinations and activities.

Tips for promoting your services
Mytripguru provides a great way for local tourism providers to promote their own services. The integrity of the site is maintained through the Guru Points system, where Trip Gurus with more points have more authority. As a result of this system, an isolated review by a local tourism provider will do little to promote a service. It does, however, offer a great opportunity to local tourism providers who want to benefit from the potentially high visibility of being a top Trip Guru.
Write additional related reviews from your region. Locals are undeniably the experts when it comes to nearby activities. Instead of just writing the isolated review, add activity reviews about other attractions in the area. This establishes you as the top Trip Guru in the region and gives your reviews more authority. It also helps visitors to plan a more comprehensive trip.
