Tours.com launches speciality search service
16 February 2005
Internet travel search engine Tours.com has announced the launch of its newest search category: worldwide travel agent search by speciality
The San Francisco-based independent website claims the new category enhances its position as the ultimate travel research site.
In addition to offering many other travel-related resources, Tours.com now offers contact information and descriptions of travel agents located around the world.
The new Tours.com Travel Agent Search section allows consumers to search for travel professionals based on the agent's specific niche or speciality, so travellers can find agents that deal specifically with eco tours, surfing trips, honeymoons, or travel to Katmandu.
As with all of the travel suppliers listed on Tours.com, each travel agent who registers to be listed on the site has their data personally reviewed and verified by Tours.com staff for accuracy. The Tours.com site is offered in nine different languages.
Tours.com president Maria Polk explained: "Although our site and the web in general are wonderful sources with an abundance of travel planning information, it's a known fact that when consumers complete their online research, they typically seek out a travel agent when it's time to book their trip. With the addition of our travel agent search, Tours.com is now an even better place to plan a trip -- whether it be for business or leisure."
Tours.com was founded in 1995 by three veterans of the travel directory publishing industry and was the web's first online directory of tours and vacations. The site now features tens of thousands of travel providers and resources, arranged by category and type.
