Exercise for Class 14/01 - Post Due 11/1

To prepare for class discussion, you will need to research and analyze 'aggregator' travel sites, also known as Meta-search sites.

Kayak is an example of an aggregator site. Use Jing to create your presentation.

Advice - do NOT leave creating the presentation until the last minute, as Jing will take some time to get used to.

Your presentation should include:

1. a definition of an aggregator travel site - link to the source, in your blog

2. compare 2 aggregator sites - you cannot use Kayak

-who is the target audience

-what are the benefits of using an aggregator site

-which booking sites do the aggregator sites search

-what partners are in the 2 sites you have chosen

3. How do travel experts feel about meta search travel sites - what info has been published? Link to source, in your blog

4. What is YOUR perspective on the contribution of meta search sites to the travel experience.
