TripAdvisor runs an online travel business built around helping people plan and book trips. Its main presence is a group of TripAdvisor-branded websites, led by tripadvisor.com in the United States, with local versions reaching dozens of markets and languages.

Alongside its core sites, TripAdvisor owns a collection of additional travel brands that handle areas such as cruise information, vacation rentals, restaurant booking, and tools for travel businesses, giving users several ways to research destinations, read opinions, and arrange places to stay or eat.
