TripAdvisor Expands Certificate of Excellence Accolade to New Businesses

Travellers' Top-Rated Accommodations, Attractions and Restaurants to Receive Industry Honour

LONDON, May 16, 2011 - TripAdvisor(R) (www.tripadvisor.co.uk/), the world's largest
travel site*, today announced that it is expanding its Certificate of
Excellence program to include new business types. Last year, the accolade
honoured highly rated accommodation businesses, based on travellers' reviews.
This year, the award will also recognise travellers' top-rated restaurants
and attractions. Honourees will receive a digital recognition badge to
display on their business's website and, by request, a hardcopy certificate
by mail to display on site.

To qualify, these businesses must maintain an average rating of four or
higher out of a possible five, as reviewed by travellers on TripAdvisor.
Additional criteria include volume of reviews and how recently they have been
submitted by TripAdvisor travellers. The accolade will be extended to
qualifying businesses worldwide.

"Following last year's successful launch of the Certificate of
Excellence, TripAdvisor is pleased to not only formalise the program on an
ongoing basis, but also expand it to now cover attractions and restaurants,
as well as accommodations," said Christine Petersen, president of TripAdvisor
for Business. "The accolade gives exceptional businesses in a variety of
different industries around the world the recognition they deserve. From
top-rated restaurants in Boston to top-rated attractions in Barcelona, we
want to applaud these businesses for offering TripAdvisor travellers a great
customer experience."

The Certificate of Excellence program does not replace the TripAdvisor
Travellers' Choice Awards, but will be an extension of TripAdvisor's
recognition of top-rated businesses, as reviewed by travellers on the world's
largest travel site.

program, please visit the TripAdvisor Owners Centre at
