Yahoo!Travel has announced a new personalized Trip Recommendations module, along with a number of additional product and site enhancements. The new version of Yahoo! Travel integrates personalized travel deals, travel guides and budget-oriented planning. The website now also demonstrates a new mapping prototype that allows other maps to be layered over a Yahoo! Map to show greater detail of a particular location and more customized mapping options. Along with these features, Yahoo! Travel uses a collaborative Flight Planner plug-in on Yahoo! Messenger, so users can research and book flights in real-time. Yahoo! Messenger's Flight Planner plug-in searches for fares on Yahoo! FareChase and allows users to view and select their favorite flight choices together. Also, via Yahoo! Trip Planner Tagging, travelers can now insert tags within the popular Yahoo! Travel Trip Planner to organize their Trip Plans. Jasper Malcolmson, director of Yahoo! Travel said, "We want to fundamentally transform the way people plan and research their trips and our Trip Recommendations are designed to inspire people with new ideas of where to go, and the best price for getting there. By tapping into the collective intelligence of other like-minded travelers, there is a greater ability to plan and take truly memorable trips, no matter how near or far you want to go." |
