Travelers on vacations can now rely on GoMio’s GoDashboard, a suite of social networks and review sites specifically designed for travellers to keep track of their specific information from a number of social media tools.

The solution helps travelers make reservations at one of the more than 5,000 youth hostels in GoMio's system and delivers customized location-specific information from a number of social media tools.

Apart from these utilities, users can check in to GoDashboard to make additional reservations at other youth hostels in 960 cities and 135 countries around the world. 

Travelers can even hook into Facebook (News - Alert) Connect to keep in touch and meet fellow travelers who will be in the city and the same hostel at the same time. Users also have the option to meet and talk to local residents through integration with Tripping.com, a global travel community.

"Hostels and social networks are both built around the idea of community, and the GoDashboard is designed to bring the hostel socializing experience online," said Michael Tumminia, CEO of GoMio. "Just like people, hostels have their own unique personalities, and the GoDashboard helps travelers build a trip and meet new people that match their personality."

Users can plan their vacations using the GoDashboard, which provides details about local restaurant and attraction reviews from Yelp (News - Alert) and Qype, as well as event and festival listings from Eventful, making it easy for travelers to make friends and plan shared experiences before meeting face to face.

Based in Barcelona and New York, GoMio is a social connection website and online booking portal. The company is known for offering wide range of services to both hostels and travelers, providing unparalleled choice and excellent value to all facets of the growing backpacker industry.
