Hi, my name is Benoit and I'm passionate about how technology can disrupt the travel industry and ultimately lead to a better end-user experience.
I have been conducting numerous interviews over the past few weeks to gain insights into the way people curate, organize and share travel content, with the final objective of identifying opportunities to innovate in this space.
I intend to share my preliminary findings across a series of discussions on Travel Massive to engage with the community.
The first topic relates to the main information channels used by travellers to discover a specific destination and learn about where to go and what to do. Below a summary from the interviews:
- Friends / Family: For 67% of interviewees, friends and familyās word-of-mouth play a significant role in picking the next destination and 42% rely on their recommendations to know what to do on the ground.

We are in Puerto Vallarta for the next five weeks. Looking for all types of tips from food, drinks, and things to do. Many thanks for your suggestions! Looking to hear from the Travel Massive community.
Eric!!! Good to see you Mex-side!! If you make it to Oaxaca later, please look me up! I'll be back there Dec 14 onwards!
I've only been to Vallarta a couple of times, but... had some of the best cocktails of my life at El ColibrĆ Cocktail Bar! Amazing ambiance, delcious drinks!! highly recommended!
Also, for a fun sunset experience - reserve a pool table (sitting IN the shallow pool) for sunset at Ventas (Ik, Mar y Vino, Noroc). Decent drinks and food.. more there for the fun, atmosphere and view! :)
Hope you have fun! Vallarta's a beautiful spot!
Hey Ian, long time no...... Thanks for sharing this. I don't see us getting to Oaxaca but you never know. We'll be in Mexico City in January after we get back from Thailand. Thanks for the tips, we'll certainly take a look. Hope you are doing well. Eric
Hola!
I Love PV, and have been many times... Zona Romantica is my fav, especially after 2-3 blocks from the playa, you get into real neighborhoods of locals. A great food truck loved by locals: Tacos El Moreno (this and all spots are on google maps). Locals small market: Mercado Emiliano Zapata. Riverside openair dining: Balam Balam.
Happy hour on beach front is lower quality mostly, yet having your feet in the sand is a bonus!
Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing this Bryon. We've been eating really well and always welcome additional recommendations.
