Family Friendly Surfing

You may have noticed on TripCents home page the new "Labeled with ICRA" link.  If your'e not familiar with ICRA it is an abbreviation for the Internet Content Rating Association.  This association is a international, non-profit group of internet leaders that have a common goal for developing a safer internet, especially for parents of young children. 

The ICRA does not monitor websites nor do they rate internet content.  Sites participating in their program fill out a questionnaire where they are asked which elements are absent or present on their websites.  The ICRA believes that self-regulation is a key element in creating a safe environment for internet users.  After filling out the questionnaire, a process the ICRA refers to as labeling, a file is generated which is then linked to the content on your domain.   Users may then use filtering software to grant or deny access to websites based on the information in the label.

If you were to check our site label you would see the following: http://www.tripcents.com/ is labelled
  • No nudity
  • No sexual material
  • No violence
  • No potentially offensive language
  • No potentially harmful activities
  • User-generated content such as chat rooms and message boards (moderated)
  • This material appears in a news context

The label declares that it was issued on 2009-5-12

Labels file is in ICRAchecked database.

As you can see TripCents has no adult or otherwise offensive material. And, unlike many other hotel reservation sites, our reviews are monitored by real people who scrutinize each review for violations of our strict family friendly rules. For an example of how our reviews appear see Branson MO Hotels.
