Yahoo Trip Planner

Yahoo on Wednesday unveiled an online travel service that helps consumers not only book flights and hotels, but plan, organise and share trips via the internet. Yahoo has spent the past 18 months honing its new Trip Planner service. It weaves together many of Yahoo’s existing services such as maps, bulletin boards and local listings and allows consumers to create and print personalised trip itineraries. It also integrates services from Flickr, the online photo sharing company that Yahoo bought earlier this year. “The launch of Trip Planner and our expanded community and content offerings are just the beginning of our plans to build the ultimate online travel resource,” said James Slavet, general manager of Yahoo! Marketplace – Travel and Autos. It aims to do “what a great executive assistant or travel agent would do, but allows you to do it yourself,” he added.
