Dear All,

Thomas Cook (I) Ltd has launched its own web portal. (www.thomascook.in)
From this site you can not only book flight tickets but they can also book Indian rail tickets which no other site except IRCTC allows. Also, you can apply for Travel Insurance and Visa and Holiday packages.

In other words, this site has everything you would require for your travel (domestic as well as abroad) under one roof.

Hope you will find it useful.

Yes, interesting post.

And I am guilty of launching another one in this already competetive market.

But we need some help with the tagline for GreenGambol.

Truly Said. Online Travel market today is getting very competitive.
Well! Further I would only say that we have to be very analytic and clever enough while choosing for a good online tour operator.

Was wondering if the Indian online travel sites can benefit from Amazon.comâ€™s online book selling model where they show listings from other book-sellers (mom&pop, individuals, other book stores). Our travel sites could similarly aggregate the offerings of local travel agents. So when you search for a flight and price, offers from local travel agents will also be listed allowing the users the choice of picking up the tix themselves.

There is great advantage to the first-mover in this space (local travel agents will be quick to jump on to get online exposure) and the travel site can earn a buck just for making the connection.

Food for thought – hope some travel site is reading this

viajustgo.com, formerly, flightraja.com

there is one fundamental difference in our approach. We are focussed on empowering 10,000+ travel agents in the country by providing them seamless connectivity on all domestic airlines for them to issue tickets to their customers and also earn commission on the same.

we have more than 4000 agents in 340 cities registered with us who issue tickets to their customers.

we are steadily growing on our B2C share and are confident will have significant market share without obscene adspend which has been the norm in india.

Kavya – Quit kidding. Journalists dont promote travel sites and usually they dont like spam either.
