Triphub Ceases Operations PDF Print E-mail

Seattle, WA based Triphub, an organization we have covered periodically at Leisure Group Travel has ceased operations.  An announcement on the firm's website stated:

TripHub's trip planning service is no longer available. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you to the tens of thousands of customers who used TripHub to plan trips and events over the past two and a half years.

We founded TripHub with a vision of creating a new, easier and more enjoyable way to plan, coordinate, and share gatherings that involve travel. As we said at the start of this journey (and, yes, a startup is a journey), leisure travel is fun. It's an opportunity to spend time with family, friends and others who share our passions and interests. It's about deepening relationships and enriching lives, and we hope that in some way we were able to help extend the enjoyment of the travel experience and to ease the challenges and frustrations associated with organizing group trips.

Triphub was one of the early entrants in helping leisure groups plan and organize together online.  In a short period of time they were able to generate tens of thousands of customers and filled a major market need.  Thanks for the help guys, you'll be missed.
