Wego allows online travel shoppers to search for flights, hotels and package deals across more than one hundred travel sites in the time that it takes to search for one. That means Wego can find the best product to buy and connect users to the best place to buy it in real time, within seconds.
Martin Symes, Wego's Chief Executive Officer stated "We are delighted to be extending our partnership with Yahoo! into these two exciting, high growth countries. The early results from the newly launched travel channels show there is huge demand for a cutting edge, online travel price comparison service. This is a great opportunity for Wego's travel supplier partners to get their product in front of a new generation of online travelers."
Wego allows travellers to search for flights, hotels, packages, travel deals and travel research across 100+ travel websites in the time that it normally takes to search just one. Wego searches travel websites in real-time so that the latest pricing and availability are shown. Travelers are then linked through to partner websites to book. Wego.com was founded in 2005 by former executives from Intercontinental Hotels Group (NYSE: IHG), Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO), Priceline (NASDAQ: PCLN) and ZUJI. News Digital Media, the Australian digital arm of News Limited and part of News Corp (NYSE: NWS), is an investor.
Wego in partnership with Qais who develop, host and maintain SoutheastAsia.org. Wego and Qais have enjoyed previous success in working together with the successful viasingapore.com website which was awarded the honorary nominee for a Webby Award in 2009.
According to Wego, people are taking a holiday break this year with the site recording over four times as many searches for flights and accommodation over the holiday period than for non-peak periods, as Aussies travel to see loved ones or embark on a Christmas adventure.
