Their about us page shows
Trazzler recommends trips—original, hand-picked, concise travel experiences—customized for your location and travel personality. As you explore the world, we will get to know your Travel Personality. Save and share the trips that you want to take—and skip those that don’t appeal to you. The more you do, the better your recommendations become.
We start from the premise that the quality of the writing matters and we read every trip submitted to Trazzler. This allows us to hire the best writers. Every trip that you see in your TripStream was selected by an editor and written by a person who visited the place in question and felt compelled to share it with other travelers. So many other travel sites, in their attempt to be online travel megastores, present an unedited, overwhelming morass of recycled information. Trazzler highlights more meaningful travel experiences, those that tend to slip through the cracks elsewhere—the secret places that you might only tell your friends about… the defining travel moments that reside in your memory long after you have returned home.
They invite travel writer to write about the trip and recommend trip to user based on their profile. Capture the profile based on the activities of user. They attract travel writer via contest running around the year. They are freelancer travel writer and put decent budget(15-20%) to pay them.
