Web travel bookings cut out middlemen - Breaking News - National - Breaking News

Web travel bookings cut out middlemen - Breaking News - National - Breaking News: "Paul Fisher, a spokesman for travel information website Totaltravel.com, said he believed Australia would follow the trend of the United States because suppliers and consumers were getting smarter and more sophisticated in seeking better rates.
'We are finding that people are going to sites like ours, getting the information they want, and then clicking directly through to the supplier in the hope of saving some money.'
Totaltravel.com had a record month in January, with 885,437 visits to its site, up 33 per cent on the previous month.
Mr Fisher said 46 per cent of visitors to the site took the additional step of clicking through to a featured supplier website, retrieving a phone number or sending an email request directly to a supplier."
