Kayak travel meta-search has acquired rival SideStep for $200 million, say Techrunch in this post.
So, we have now a big market leadership in the travel meta-search space.
This players are american, but other actors are interesting to see :
Sprice (with a international focus, Europe and Asia at this time)
DoHop (with great technology for Low Cost airfare in Europe)
Bezurk (for asian market)
Adam Healey, Co-founder & CEO VibeAgent Inc., write some thoughts about this buying in the VibeAgent blog.
“I think this deal is further market validation of the meta-search model that VibeAgent utilizes and which consumers and travel suppliers alike increasingly prefer (see PhoCusWright's latest research showing OTA hotel market share declining to 40% of total online bookings in '06 at the expense of travel supplier sites selling direct).”
