Need a travel partner for your trip to Tuscany or Africa? Mango Tree aims to be your go-to site for finding a travel companion or creating your own travel group. You create a profile, post your dream trip or your own dream travel group, wait for responses and go from there.
The site basically works on a social networking platform and has those types of offerings, including blogs, chats, forums, articles, etc. Right now the site has a Special Launch Offer where you get three months free access and the ability to win a new IPod. In general, the site is well designed, but a bit cold. It seems corporate and just out to make money from its users.

Why Mango-tree.com It Might Be A Killer
These type of sites helping travelers find mates seem to be gaining in numbers and popularity. Travel in general continues to be a huge draw, and it makes sense to form travel groups and find companions. It also makes sense to share the experience of your trip and share advice/tidbits with others.
Some Questions About Mango-tree.com
How is this site different than the other travel sites out there offering the same service? There traffic is pretty low – how do they hope to draw people to the site? How are they doing in relation to their competitors? Can they offer special travel deals to entice people to their site? Do they have industry connections? Finally, the site seems corporate….I prefer sites started by those actually passionate about travel rather than just trying to make a dollar.
