As the world of Web 2.0 has exploded, there have become more and more online networking opportunities for people with similar interests. For example, there are many groups available online for travelers to network with one another. These groups allow people with similar travel interests to share their stories, offer each other tips and even find other like-minded people to travel with to new destinations.

There are many different online networking opportunities for people interested in this type of networking. These opportunities can be loosely divided into three categories:

• Groups on common travel sites. Sites related to travel have set up groups for those who use the site to network with one another. These are commonly used for group travel planning.
• Groups on niche travel sites. Likewise, there is online networking among niche members-only travel groups. For example, people who use Synergy One for the Platinum One Destinations program or the NetTrav program can network together on these sites.
• Web 2.0 groups for travelers. These groups are set up outside of specific travel channels and encourage all travelers to connect with one another.

Online networking offers travelers the chance to share a great amount of information with one another as well as to make new friends who also like to travel.
