                                POWER OF ATTORNEY

     The undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints each of Seth J. Kalvert,
Suzanne Filippi and Michael S. Marron, signing singly, as the undersigned's
true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

     (1)  execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's
capacity as a director of TripAdvisor, Inc. (the "Company"), Forms 3,
4 and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and the rules thereunder (the "Exchange Act") and Form ID to obtain EDGAR codes
and related documentation for use in filing Forms 3, 4 and 5;

     (2)  do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned
which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4
or 5 or Form ID, complete and execute any amendment or amendments thereto, and
timely file such forms with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority;

     (3)  take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to,
in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of
the undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and
shall contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve
in such attorney-in-fact's discretion; and

     (4)  seek or obtain, as the undersigned's attorney-in-fact and on the
undersigned's behalf, information regarding transactions in the Company's
securities from any third party, including brokers, employee benefit plan
administrators and trustees, and the undersigned hereby authorizes any such
person to release any such information to such attorney-in-fact and approves
and ratifies any such release of information.

     The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power
and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever
requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in connection with the exercise of
any of the rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and
purposes as the undersigned might or could do if personally present, with
full power of substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all
that such attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or
substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of
Attorney and the rights and powers herein granted.  The undersigned
acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity
at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming, nor is the Company
assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16
of the Exchange Act.

     This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

     This Power of Attorney does not relieve the undersigned from
responsibility for compliance with the undersigned's obligations under the
Exchange Act, including, without limitation, the reporting requirements under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act.  Additionally, although pursuant to this Power
of Attorney the Company will use commercially reasonable best efforts to timely
and accurately file Section 16 reports on behalf of the undersigned, the
Company does not represent or warrant that it will be able to in all cases
timely and accurately file Section 16 reports on behalf of the undersigned due
to various factors, including, but not limited to, the shorter deadlines
mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, possible time zone differences
between the Company and the undersigned and the Company's need to rely on
others for information, including the undersigned and brokers of the
undersigned.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned had caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed as of this 14th day of November 2011.


                         By:         /s/ Jeremy Philips
                         Print name: Jeremy Philips
