LONDON, April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Eleven years ago, in February 2000, Co-Founder and CEO Stephen Kaufer started TripAdvisor(R) with the ambition of creating a site to help travellers plan and have the perfect trip, with reviews written by and for real travellers.

To coincide with the growth in content, TripAdvisor has expanded its global reach. Since the beginning of 2010, sites have launched in Argentina, Greece, Indonesia, Russia, Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Australia, Norway, Poland, Taiwan and-most recently-Malaysia. TripAdvisor now operates in 29 countries and is available in 20 languages.

"TripAdvisor continues to experience remarkable growth because travellers the world over find exactly what they're looking for on the site: a wealth of travel-planning tools and the reviews and opinions of millions of other travellers, including their own friends," said Kaufer. "Since our launch over a decade ago, we have expanded not only our travel-planning features to include Flights, Vacation Rentals, Attractions, and so on, but we have also expanded our global reach.
