Cutting edge search engine for specialist tours

New holiday planning website, Travelwhere, helps consumers quickly find the tour operators specialising in the type of travel they want.

For anyone seeking unusual, adventure, activity or cultural holidays, a new holiday search website has been designed which delivers details of over 8,000 tour itineraries from leading specialist operators, in just one visit.

As the appetite across all ages for ‘non-mainstream’ holidays burgeons, so the choices increase. Finding  the tour that suits a person’s ideal requirements, and the operators who can take them there, is not an easy process. Travelwhere is a ‘one-stop’ site that uniquely combines keyword search facilities together with inspiring images of destinations to help consumers find in-depth information about specialist tours. The search results detail the best matches and, at the same time, provide direct access to the specific tour offered by the operator.

“What people want to find is a choice of holidays from a range of specialist operators in just one site, so that they can quickly and easily compare the itineraries” says Ian Champness, founder of Travelwhere and veteran player in the travel industry. “The trouble is, finding the specialists and the myriad tours and experiences they offer is no mean feat, and very time
consuming too” he adds.

Claims Champness, “The specialist travel search engine we’ve developed goes one step further than a Google result. It shows images and tour descriptions in one search, to give the user exactly what they’re looking for. Displaying dozens of tours instantly, it takes the legwork out of searching lots of individual sites and collating results” he adds.

Travelwhere is a holiday planning website and search engine designed to help consumers looking for out-of-the-ordinary destinations quickly find specialist tour operators offering tours, holidays, accommodation and niche cruises. Currently there are tour itineraries from over 60 specialist operators, plus over 50,000 rental properties across thousands of locations, as well as more than one thousand niche cruise and river itineraries.

“Travelwhere is an aggregator of specialist travel operators’ content – not a listing site”, Champness stresses. “It provides choice, comparison and convenience in just one place, and I think our new website will help to put the company at the forefront of specialist holiday planning” he concludes.
