Notice anything different when you woke up this morning? The bright warmth on your face? It’s called sunshine! That song in the air? Birds! And what about those lovely clicking and tapping sounds all around you? That is the music of Yelpers everywhere,booking and ordering from local businesses directly on Yelp about 1.5 million times to date. We spent all Winter helping you survive the snowpocalypse by sending food delivery straight to your door and booking escapes totropical getaways and Napa wine tours, and now it’s time to ring in Spring with a fresh crop of partners that have madefive new categories of businesses transactable on Yelp Platform!

Yes, the great outdoors is beckoning, and Yelp wants to help you answer its call. That’s why we partnered withVimblyto make activities from over 5,000 local vendors instantly bookable on Yelp. Rent a paddle board, take a photo safari, or parachute out of a plane! If you’re a golfer (or you just really enjoy driving a golf cart around and drinking beer outside), you can even book a tee time on Yelp thanks to our partnership withGolfNow. It’s all just par for the course with Yelp Platform!
