The Indian Backpacker (www.indianbackpacker.com) which was one of the most popular websites for Backpackers heading to India has been Re-launched as a "Budget Travel Guide and Community for Travelers in India"
The New site promises to be more user friendly with a higher focus on building a cleaner and happier community of Backpackers and young budget travelers.
3. Start to the Journey
Goa Beach in Rishikesh - Aug 2006
Bunked my college to complete my Final year e-com Project to Rishikesh
and realized there was something missing in the Travel industry
4. Reason to Re-Launch
• Difficult user interface
• Community only limited to a forum
• Outdated design
• Not suitable for Mobile
5. How did I come up to this conclusion ?
• Looking at cooler new travel websites
• Forums no Good
• Travel Community confused
• Travel Photo Sharing the most popular
followed by Travel blogging
• Travel Search gaining popularity
6. The Re-Launch
• Better user experience
• Building the travel community
• A New backpacker search engine
• 3 times more information/Guides
• Mobile usability
• Higher level of Motivation for Me
7. My Sacrifices for the Re-Launch
• Lesser money for me to travel but greater
karma earnings to make others travel
• Lesser sleeping hours but more Happiness
Hours
• Lesser time for Family & Friends but more
time to help Backpackers
8. Expected Outcome
• Higher Ad Sales for Indian Backpacker
• Rise in the no of Backpackers/budget
Travelers in India
