Our story.
Founded in 2023 by two former executives of Priceline.com, our platform brings over two decades of expertise to the travel industry. It is rooted in an understanding of travelers' booking preferences, aiming not to alter these habits but to enhance them. Navigating through thousands of anonymous reviews can be overwhelming, which is why we are dedicated to enriching travel experiences by providing personalized, authentic and trustworthy recommendations from familiar faces. This ensures travelers can exceed their expectations every time.
“I wanted to build a platform that I would use. Finding trusted recommendations is difficult today but with Plannin, you'll be able to find recommendations from creators you follow and trust. One recommendation from the right person is worth more than a thousand reviews”
Randy Schartner
Plannin, Co-founder
“When online booking took off, people no longer needed travel agents to book travel. In this process, we lost the personal recommendation. The goal of Plannin is to help connect people to hotels, experiences and restaurants to bring back that recommendation from somebody you trust.”
