# FinderTrip

> FinderTrip is a destination data platform publishing research-driven travel guides. Every city guide is scored per traveler type (couples, solo, families, budget, digital nomad, seniors, luxury) using documented formulas. Recommendations are based on review count, rating, and traveler-type fit — not affiliate commission rates.
