Tripino is an app that can record your journey. When we search for travel apps online, a thousand results that organize photos and last-minute booking deals appear. Then, is it a travel app equivalent to a trip organizing app?
Some might say yes to this question, but Tripino has a different answer. Tripino prioritizes records during the trip. Let’s think about travel notes. People who prefer analog methods tend to write down what they have felt in a specific spot or take a picture of the place with a film camera. For those who prefer digital ways, laptops and smartphones replace notebooks and film cameras, respectively. Analog and digital methods have crystal clear difference whether the records are sorted by human or system, or saved in a hardcopy format or saved in online files.
Tripino is a service with a philosophy of “make analog better with digital technology.” The CEO of Tripino, Youm Kwangyun, said, “our strength relies on our philosophy to provide both traditional and new ways of recording travel experience. In this sense, we offer digital storybook while also providing photo album in the hardcopy version.”
In addition, Tripino has been offering basic travel app services such as calendar service, map-based social media postings, and so on. Youm said, “I felt there was a better way to share trip experiences. People tend to remember things easier when said as a story, rather than just pictures or notes.” Therefore, Tripino offers a collection of journals and pictures into stories based on AI technology that automatically sorts sources from the users’ mobile phones.”
Again, Tripino aims people to share their trip experience, and Youm said, “we focused on how we share our stories. It should be easy and better to remember. Therefore, we minimized processes to use social media such as Facebook and Instagram in our app. Also, our stories can be viewed on digital TVs and so on” Youm also added, “Everyone wants to keep their trip in their own way. The important thing we should not forget is to satisfy our consumer’s diverse needs”.
The Trippino app is currently being updated, and the updated version will be launched later this year during a project with the Seoul Tourism Foundation. Meanwhile, Yeom said, “Tripino hopes that the collaboration with the Seoul Tourism Foundation will help people realize the charm of Seoul via word of mouth, analog photo album or digital social media.”
