Kango.com, VibeAgent.com - It Looks Like We are Making Progress!

Kango.com is a travel site that is still in private beta but offers some well thought out features. Some of the initial reviews are positive:

Tim from Business of Online Travel talks about how Kango is the natural evolution of meta-search to solve the problem of too much information – Kayak aggregates price, Travelzoo aggregates deal and Kango aggregates content, reviews and travel information,”(Kango) takes all of the unstructured data out there from web based sources (TripAdvisor, Travelpost, Expedia, Orbitz, Travelocity, etc) and combines it into a structured data result…into a contextual summary”.

But what tells me that they really understand industry trends and consumer needs is when I see them bring in experienced Inclusive Travel advocates like Craig Grimes of Accessible Barcelona and Accessible Nicaragua. See his piece at Disability Travel, Part I: Plan Accessible Trips
