The new home page (pictured left) features a dedicated travel search module and daily deals. Across the site, contextualised search widgets provide access to the hottest deals from industry leaders, alongside travel advice.

ninemsn is repositioning the site as a travel planning and booking destination, with access to the best value deals, no matter the budget.

Users can view the spectrum of travel options from low cost carriers to cruises, boutique hotels to hand-picked deals that are relevant to the ninemsn Traveleditorial, which provides ‘insider’ tips and ideas from Australians who have experienced destinations abroad.

“Wego’s user-first approach to search and ninemsn Travel’s comprehensive content, mean this progressive collaboration will give Australians a complete destination guide, along with the means to book their travel simply and efficiently,” said Dean Wicks, Chief Marketing Officer and General Manager, Australia & New Zealand for Wego.

“Australian consumers are the winners here as we continue on our mission to help them save time, pay less and travel more.”

Group buying travel deals are aggregated on the one page including current providers Getaway Lounge, Scoopon and Living Social. Destination features are now contextualised to suit the story you are reading, so if you’re getting the low down from a fellow Aussie traveller on the best jazz bars in New Orleans, you’ll also be shown the latest deals for flights to the jazz capital from your nearest airport.

Wego recently launched 35 country sites in 20 languages as part of its global expansion including www.wego.com.au andwww.wegotravel.co.nz.  Wego’s metasearch technology collates, presents and tracks travel products and deals from around the world, so ninemsn Travel users will have the broadest possible choice of over 350,000 accommodation options and more than 500 airlines, including the region’s low cost carriers.
