Pet care is evolving as a new generation of pet parents becomes increasingly interested in traveling with their pets and Mars teamed up with Tripadvisor to launch a co-branded digital hub to support the future of pet-friendly travel.
For travelers seeking pet-friendly accommodations and services to ensure their furry companions can accompany them on their journeys, this hub helps to provide peace of mind and alleviates separation anxiety for pets and owners alike.
This partnership includes not only a new consumer hub but also city guides developed in partnership with CESAR, an AI Trip Builder for pet-friendly travel and Pet-Friendly Hotels as a new Travelers' Choice Best of the Best Award category—Hotel Fioreze Quero Quero in Brazil has been named the world's most pet-friendly, and Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale in Florida has been awarded the title in the United States.
