Verification notes

Shutdown: The July 10, 2019 original follow-up directly interviewed the CEO, a co-founder and affected customers and confirms completed operations and service loss earlier that year. July 10 is an explicitly inferred dated-confirmation proxy; only the actual ending year2019 is retained separately. The May7 original report had personally obtained the CEO’s customer email and listed a future June7 server cutoff. That plan is not substituted for an independently established actual last-service day. The exact technical cutoff month/day, hour and timezone are unknown. One complete Utrip itinerary-planning service covers its consumer workflow and hosted white-label/Pro distribution; no separate API/model entries, exported itineraries, later patent transfers or unrelated modern Utrip brands are declared ended. Precise first public availability is unverified; founding and later funding dates are not substituted. Seattle is independently listed by the original operator-managed profile. Closure source

Location: United States · Seattle. The original Utrip-managed company profile explicitly lists its headquarters and business contact in Seattle. The city is also corroborated by direct founder interviews. Use a sourced operator-headquarters city proxy, not an office geocode. Coordinates are the GeoNames locality point rounded to two decimals.
