Online travel agency launches new website
Online agency Travel Republic has launched a new, more user-friendly version of its website after seeing bookings more than double since 2007.
The new site has a more modern design and easier search tools for hotels, flights, car hire, airport transfers and airport parking, said Travel Republic.
Users can also view a map with Google Street view to see the precise location of particular hotels for the first time and hotel searches can be filtered using criteria such as customer ratings.
Travelrepublic.co.uk has increased integration with social media sites Facebook and Twitter, so users can click ‘Like’ or ‘Tweet’ buttons on any page on the site to share recommendations with friends.
Managing director Paul Furner said “The new website is much faster, more user-friendly and has a fresh, modern look and feel. We are absolutely delighted with the extremely positive feedback we have already had from our customers.”
