The TripAdvisor Inc. application is displyed on an Apple Inc. iPhone for a photograph in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Friday, May 5, 2017. TripAdvisor is scheduled to released earnings figures on May 9. Photographer: Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg

In a bygone, less technological era, people planned for trips by sending off for colourful brochures or listening to firsthand reviews from friends or family members. 

There always was the chance of a "dud." The photos in some of those brochures could be a dozen years old, and reality a bit tattered and threadbare. It also is possible for one person's nirvana to be another's nightmare, given that people enjoy different experiences and settings.
