# Traveler-Focused Pet Hubs Mars Unveils a New Pet-Focused Hub in Collaboration with TripAdvisor By Kanesa D | Published 2024-06-03 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mars-3 References: [prweek](https://www.prweek.com/article/1875085/mars-launches-pet-friendly-digital-hub-tripadvisor) & [mars](https://www.mars.com/)  [Mars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/better-cities-for-pets) Incorporated, a leading pet care product and service company, has partnered with the renowned travel guidance platform [Tripadvisor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-friendly-travel) to launch an innovative co-branded digital hub designed specifically for pet owners. This new platform aims to inspire more businesses to adopt pet-friendly practices, addressing the gap where fewer than 1% of U.S. restaurants are listed as pet-friendly. Accessible both online and via the Tripadvisor mobile app, the digital hub will feature city guides with pet-friendly travel tips and attractions developed in collaboration with the dog food brand [Cesar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cesar-restaurant-weekend). It will also include comprehensive guides for businesses on becoming more accommodating to pets and enhancing their pet-friendly offerings. A standout feature of the digital hub is its use of artificial intelligence to power the "trip builder" tool. This tool lets users quickly curate personalized, pet-friendly travel itineraries, offering a seamless planning experience tailored to their needs and preferences.
