13/02/2012 by WiT


Asia’s travel metasearch website, Wego, has launched a dedicated site for the Philippines –  Wego Philippines – that enables travellers to find the cheapest flights and the best accommodation from across the market with just a few clicks online.

The site says this will help travellers save hundreds of pesos and time, otherwise spent seaching multiple travel sites. This is  made possible with the features on the search engine that include:

• New Calendar Search to find the cheapest days to fly

• Hottest available fares from Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific Air, Air Philippines, AirAsia, Tiger Airways and Jetstar Asia along with hundreds of other carriers

• New Popular Search to see the most favoured destinations and accommodation.

Users simply click through to their chosen suppliers’ sites, which include online travel agents, to book.

Wego Philippines also includes the DateWise™ Fare Finder tool that allows users to select a destination, indicate flexibility in dates of travel, and see a graphic calendar displaying the lowest fares over a month for all carriers.

Users looking for hotels will find the revolutionary Popular Search feature useful as it ranks properties according to what is considered convenient, well-priced and well placed by other users.

Based on a complex algorithm that tracks the data trails of Filipino travellers this search feature generate accurate results that in real-time. For example, Singapore is currently the most frequently search route out of Manila. The five most popular hotels there are Holiday Inn Atrium, Marina Bay Sands, Empire Hostel Singapore, Ibis Singapore On Bencoolen and Concorde Hotel Singapore.

First time travellers will find the “Popular With Filipinos” rankings helpful, while experienced users see the site as intuitive and content relevant.
