By: airnetz http://travel.airnetz.com "Many travellers all around the world are looking for custom made travel packages. However search engines only connect travellers with very large travel companies and booking portals who offer very standard hotels and flights packages. There are a lot of unexplored territories and destinations all over the world which are only offered by small to mid size travel agents. Tourist9.com provides them a platform to connect with prospective customers. The social networking feature on tourist9.com also allows these travel agents to provide a direct one to one chat with customers to resolve all their doubts and queries. Reputation and quality of such travel agents will be decided by customers as they use these services and can instantly upload their reviews to the site so that other travellers can benefit while making their travel decisions." said Omkar Mestry, COO of Tourist9.com social network. "Facebook.com the biggest social network in the world has over 1 billion members. People are now getting used to the functionality of a social network to find answers in a collaborative way. Travel industry needs a lot of review based and collaborative decision making. People really need to discuss their travel plans with travel agents and fellow travellers who have already experienced such a destination. Large travel booking portals offer very little help to resolve instant queries to make quick decisions." added Mr. Mestry. "Tourist9.com plans to serve over a million customers in the next 2-3 years to plan their global trips for business as well as leisure." End
