Yahoo to Expand Its Travel Service

Yahoo Travel is currently an interesting product provided by the search giant that helps users find information about locations and travel details about destinations in the entire world. The service was first created to represent a travel guide but now it is a huge portal able to provide flight information, tickets' price, hotel details, cruises and other useful links. The interface of the website is quite attracting for every new user while the navigation along its function can be easily done. Under the "Your trip begins here" slogan, the service is based on the features provided by the giant portal, allowing you to search, organize and make reservations for your tickets.

Because the destination for every trip is very important, the company decided to enhance the information provided by the travel service with a new partnership made between two Yahoo products: Travel and Flickr. As you know, Flickr is a photo solution that allows you to upload, view and share images using an online interface accessible through the official page of the product. Using this new agreement, Yahoo will help users contribute to the improvement of the service by allowing them to publish photographs with certain locations from the entire world. This way, users will be able to find more details and even attractions for their destinations only by using Yahoo's service.

"Tim Frankcom, European general manager at Yahoo! Travel, said: "The integration of Flickr in Yahoo! Travel reinforces our position as leaders in the realm of web 2.0 travel services. We hope that the addition of this new service will inspire users in their travel choices and enable them to book with the confidence that they have fully researched their trip by viewing and reading both authorities licensed and user-generated content. The great advantage of online photo-sharing is that it enables us to harness the true value of the online global community by allowing users across the world to communicate their experiences by posting and sharing photos," mad.co.uk reported.
