The first social networking site dedicated to the travel industry has been launched, it has been reported.
USATravelSpace.com is intended for use by consumers looking to go on holiday as well as those promoting destinations.
Buyers and sellers will be linked through user profiles, with the former able to use a range of features including blogs and video streaming to showcase their products and services to the latter.
President of USATravelSpace.com Eric Paul Thomas comments: "I am confident USATravelSpace.com will quickly become the first stop for savvy travel producers and travellers looking for the best USA Travel services."
He adds that the site will help consumers to deal with the large quantity of products and services that are currently available on the internet.
In related news, it was announced in recent weeks that TravelBookmarking.com, a site allowing users to research and bookmark travel destinations, was launched.
Wherever consumers plan to visit over the course of 2008, they may well find that they benefit from investing in a
travel insurance policy from
InsureandGo before they set off.
