In July 2008, IrishGetaways.com launched a new website catering exclusively to affordable, customized trips to Ireland. The travel portal which is built using the XYKA Travel Platform provides a one stop web-shop for planning vacations and booking custom trips and pre-packaged vacations to Ireland.

After evaluating several travel technology vendors, IrishGetaways.com selected XYKA because of the robustness of their platform and flexibility in adapting to IrishGetaway.com’s business needs. Most other solutions lacked the easy customizability and breadth of the XYKA Travel Platform “Working with XYKA has been an absolute pleasure. Their knowledge of and background in travel has allowed them to develop a solution that is both powerful and customizable to our specific needs,” commented Randy Hobbs, President/CEO of IrishGetaways.com.    

The site has harnessed a lot of interest and generated enormously positive reviews from travelers planning or booking their trips to Ireland. Irish Getaways continues to enhance the site and add new features with XYKA’s support. “Not only have they developed such an incredibly intuitive and scalable solution, but once implemented, they have continued to devote the time, focus, and attention to our business needs and produce results which we can count on. They have essentially become part of our team, and will continue to be a part of that team for the foreseeable future,” says Randy.

“At XYKA our philosophy has always been to establish a long term partnership with our customers. For IrishGetaways XYKA has provided an industry first capability to dynamically package flights and cars in real time with a pre-packaged tour. I am extremely pleased to see Randy’s continued trust in the XYKA team and its products” commented Nirav Chhatrapati, President of XYKA.
