No, I think I would not only depend on users but they will have an option to put in data. I think initially I would have to scrape data, put some seed data myself, etc. But let's assume that the data is in fact there, then this aims to be a short trip/weekend getaway recommendation website. Is that something someone would want to use? Ofcourse, please don't give away your focus. Though I don't think it matters because generally no one wants to build someone else's idea :) So I just want opinions here on what a good travel site should do. I was initially thinking that this website I propose could get popular but now I am thinking - hey, anyone can google 'places around me for weekend getaways' and get a lot of links, etc.

Yeah i think that is the problem. If you do not do something unique people will go with major platforms that they already know.

Its hard to tell if there is still a need as i havent launched mine yet ether. All i know is that i am rather pessimistic for its success because of all the other resources out there.

Yes, exactly. I am not having second thoughts, which is not a good sign. Basically, I am looking to make something that people use - may not be necessarily in the travel domain.
