Cheapway — upgrade the tourism industry

If you went on vacation in warm countries, it is likely that we bought a tour in travel offline Agency with all the problems that are inherent in it:
the
    the
  • tour Announced your arrival was not.
    • the
  • , the Dollar was worth 32 rubles.

    • had to pay for fuel surcharge and anything else. the

  • And defend the hour all during working hours.


/ > All this is because the tourism industry, despite its scale, the least automated.

We fixed it a little by running CheapWay.

Problem


How to buy a vacation online?

No way. Ie absolutely nothing. On the Internet there is a lot of sites of travel agencies whose sole purpose is to get you to call, and better to come with money to that office.
Sometimes there are directories rounds with some prices, but when you call in an Agency in order to purchase the selected offer, then find out all what we mentioned above: no the tour while others are worth half as much.

Solution


We launched CheapWay is the site that contains the most up to date selection of the most suitable tours which is available and you can buy them right now, paying through the Internet.



On the website selected tours are of two types:
the
    the
  • are the cheapest in their category.
    • the
  • the best deals in terms of price-quality.

All the tours on it are 99% current and all rates 99% end. In rubles. Ie if you see on the site tour, so you can buy it right now at a specified price.

We had to hire people who every day looking for these tours and hands up-to-date prices. Hands, because the state of IT-infrastructure of the industry is such that in automatic mode to do this is not yet possible.
99% — because rarely, but still there are times that the tickets were, an hour passed and no tickets. But this is an adequate assessment.

The selected tour, you can pay by card via the Internet and all documents to electronic form. If a country requires a visa, apply for a visa through the courier. Ie you do not need to go somewhere and communicate with travel agents.

What's next


Now the service is running in test mode the user needs: we look at the behavior of our favorite clients, understand what they need and implement it.

If you are missing something, tell us about it and we will make the service better.

A good rest and still not too late to go somewhere on holidays in may.
Team CheapWay.
