Google Travel plans
By Nick August 2, 2006
Cnet’s Google blog has an entry on google’s plan to enter into the market of traveling. According to the story, Google is hiring for a travel position in Chicago. The writer speculates that Google will be teaming up with Orbitz (who is located in Chicago) to tackle the tourism industry.
What does this mean for budget travelers? Probably not much. Google will probably just integrate Orbitz travel deals into search and google videos. So unfortunately, they will probably not create a powerful search through unbooked hotels or airfare.
So do not expect Google to revolutionalize the online travel booking experience anytime soon.
