Toureagle: 'New Travel Search Engine Introduces Destination Search
for Ireland and Northern Ireland'
CAPE TOWN, South Africa (Business Wire EON) May 11, 2008 --
Travel search engine and trip planner toureagle.com started its global
destination roll-out today. The company added Ireland and Northern
Ireland to the service. Launched in December 2007, toureagle.com plans
rapid expansion of its destination offerings.
"We are pleased to bring this great travel planning resource to the 2,2
million Irish Internet users and 8 million travellers visiting Ireland
each year,” said Pierre Kleinhans, CEO of the
Toureagle Group.
The service allows users to set up a single destination search which
finds a comprehensive range of suppliers. The search result is a
tailormade itinerary, featuring providers of accommodation, restaurants
and activities for each town. Users are connected to online booking
agents and travel services including car rental, flights, ferries,
trains and taxis. Maps and directions for the itineraries are provided
and relevant books can be ordered online.
"A single search in toureagle.com will give travellers access to a range
of relevant providers such as they could previously only access through
many keyword searches on general search engines,”
said Kleinhans. “Planning for a trip in
Ireland and Northern Ireland just became easier."
The large index of activity providers in each town means toureagle.com
is also a great local search tool. Local providers ranging from golf
courses to horse riding venues are placed at travellers' fingertips. The
toureagle.com user simply selects the required town and activity type in
the search dropdowns and navigates from the resulting itinerary.
"Toureagle.com is a welcome addition in the tourism distribution armoury
of Ireland,” said Victor Garland, Irish
director on the board of Toureagle SA Limited, who has also served on
the Dublin Tourism board. “When results
incorporate the breadth of the service offerings in the destination as
coherently as toureagle.com does it is a happy day for travellers and
all providers in a destination.”
Garland is also commercial director of In1solutions, who operate
Irelandin1.com. “Irelandin1.com is pleased to
be one of the booking and content providers to the independent
travellers who use the search mechanism on toureagle.com,”
he said.
"The toureagle.com editorial and partnership teams have established
excellent coverage of destination Ireland,”
continued Kleinhans. “As a company we express
our thanks to the many participating providers. We will continue to
expand our content offering through partnership and research."
