Nowadays vs BetterTravel

Nowadays is an event management platform built for corporate teams that need to plan offsites, retreats, and company gatherings without hiring a full-time planner. It covers venue sourcing, registration, budgeting, vendor coordination, and day-of logistics in one place.

The platform uses AI to contact venues by email and phone, collect availability, negotiate rates, and surface the best options. Nowadays is IATA-certified and books events at volume, which unlocks preferred hotel rates and concessions that teams typically cannot get on their own.

It fits startups planning their first retreat, people teams running quarterly offsites, executive assistants sourcing venues, and enterprise teams managing events across multiple cities. Clients include Google, Airbnb, Stripe, Notion, and HubSpot.

BetterTravel builds AI travel itineraries from a destination and trip length between one and seven days. You pick a city or describe the kind of trip you want, and the site generates day-by-day plans with morning, afternoon, and evening blocks plus landmark links and hotel suggestions.

Many planners hand you a generic list of sights. BetterTravel publishes ready-made routes for cities like Paris, Tokyo, Barcelona, and Istanbul, and also runs Discover and Explore flows that spin up new itineraries on demand. The Inspirations section adds themed trip ideas such as budget Europe routes, beach weekends, and family outdoor getaways.

Casual vacationers and first-time visitors use BetterTravel to sketch a full trip quickly without spreadsheet planning. Hotel links point to Booking.com partner results, so you can jump from an itinerary block straight into lodging search.
