TravelStarter is a new and innovative crowdfunding platform for the tourism industry. It helps small businesses raise cash while also giving tourists authentic and unique travel experiences. The site works in a similar way to other crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter, except that the rewards offered are unforgettable travel experiences like staying in an eco-B&B in the jungle, whale-watching trips on the Pacific Ocean and having a professional chef cook for you for a week. TravelStarter puts tourists in direct contact with the tourism projects they want to support, and allows them to experience these projects first-hand.
