Break Away aims to provide a better solution for planning short UK trips. Existing options make trip planning difficult by asking the wrong questions and not optimizing time. Break Away will allow customers to search across accommodation and activities, build personalized itineraries, and book everything in one place. This integrated approach addresses pain points with current social and aggregation sites by providing better trip recommendations and organization tools to help customers make the most of their time.
