There is a new travel site on the web and it has taken a big step forwards in terms of trip personalization and online customization. Unlike existing tour operator sites that rely on humans to generate custom itineraries and quotes: Trips in Asia lets you create your own custom tour and get instant quotes live online!
Right now these guys have a lot of tours available, though not a very strong sustainability focus. They seem to be more focused on getting a large product catalog together and building the kind of online booking system that makes old school traditional travel agents nervous. Running live quotes that update with every activity you select? Fully interactive product catalog with great pics and more detail than any human could reasonably send someone in .pdf format? This could be one step closer to the end of the human quote machines in the sales departments of big travel companies everywhere.
We do like where these guys are going with this site though and we encourage you to check them out!
