eyefortravel.com - Travel Distribution News, Events and Analysis: Luke McNeice, chief technology officer, Bezurk says "still early days for travel meta-search engines in Europe, with lots of start ups and 'no real dominant players yet...
"Certainly the biggest development in meta-search is the strategic move by the general search engines to either partner or buy into the meta search space, look at Yahoo's acquisition of Kelkoo and FareChase and AOL's investment in Kayak. These developments certinaly validate the value of travel meta search."
McNeice said, "At this stage we are planning on focusing on UK first, as Europe presents a load of challenges which we are currently addressing in our upcoming Asia Pacific launch i.e. multiple languages and cultures. We need to achieve our Asia Pacific roll-out before we tackle Europe."
He continued: "We're just about to launch Bezurk 2.0 which will extend the existing rich user interface to enable customers to compare airfares from multiple websites by price, by schedule, by airline and by provider in real-time thanks to a new AJAX interface recently made famous by Google's revolutionary GMail."
"For hotels we've collated data from over 70 thousand hotels worldwide, which will give our customers unprecedented access to information about hotels in real-time. They will be able to view descriptions and images with the search results, and then be able to further zero in on hotels that they're after by adjusting in real-time"
