CHICAGO, Ill. — iExplore (www.iExplore.com), the leading online resource for adventure and experiential travel, announced today that it surpassed the 50 million all-time visitor mark for the first time this month. iExplore.com launched in February 2000 with no traffic and has steadily grown to over 1.3 million visitors per month today. iExplore Founder and CEO, George Deeb, said “This is not only a testament to the iExplore team for building a website and booking service that encourages engagement by a growing base of impassioned adventure travelers, but it also a credit to the iExplore users themselves, who have honored iExplore with their continued loyalty and trust while making their adventure travel plans over the last eight years. We could not have achieved this level of success without them.”
