Zicasso - Trip planning made easy?

07 March 2008 | Dominic Sawyer

Zicasso aims to save time and remove the hassle when researching and planning a trip. The site is not live until the 10th March but a preview at Techcrunch has more details on how it works and the problems it aims to solve.

A traveler sends an outline of what they plan to do and where. Zicasso distributes this basic info to 100 service providers and within two days, four proposed itineraries and costings land in your inbox. Zicasso offers this service for free and takes a cut from the agents and operators. The service will appeal to those planning more complex trips or simply at those who do not have the time searching multiple travel agencies and search engines.

How would you feel about receiving bids from agents you don’t know?

There is a more in depth review at Profy who believe Zicasso has a model that could define the future of online travel booking - Zicasso: The Potential Future of Online Travel Planning
