:: Travel Weekly ::: "SideStep jumps into the vacation packaging ring (05/16/2005) By Dennis Schaal"
Travel Weekly quotes Forrester Researchanalyst Henry Harteveldt who "thinks the entry of the metasearchers -- Kayak is working on packaging functionality as well and Yahoo's FareChase can't be far behind -- may be an important factor in pushing reluctant agencies like Travelocity and Expedia to start working with the metasearchers. “What SideStep and the other metasearch sites want is a compelling way to convince the major Web agencies to participate with them,” said Harteveldt, Forrester’s vice president of travel research. “Since dynamic packaging is such a key business line for the Web agencies they may feel substantially threatened or paranoid if they don’t participate and then see competitors enter the fray.” "
