A round-up of today's other stories in brief
TripAdvisor reviews
ripAdvisor, the travel advice website, has removed the slogan “reviews you can trust” from its hotel reviews, and replaced it with “reviews from our community”.
The company is being investigated by the British Advertising Standards Authority over allegations that not all its reviews are genuine.
A formal complaint was lodged with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) over TripAdvisor’s claim that it publishes “reviews you can trust”. The allegation is that some of the reviews may not be “real or genuine”, an ASA spokesman said. The complaint was lodged by KwikChex, a brand reputation management company. TripAdvisor says its website attracts 45 million unique visitors a month and has over 50 million reviews.
