I’m not really sure what to make of this site. The information provided on the site is very vague and there are no deals published. I would like to see an example of how the system works without having to create an account.
Questions:
1. From what I can tell from the website, FarePool appears to be a system for suppliers to load their special deals and where agents can search and book these special fares. What exactly does FarePool consider innovative about this?
2. Are there any examples of what FarePool actually does?
3. What products are in FarePool? Air, Hotel, Packages, etc.
4. How does FarePool.com compare to something like TravelZoo.com?
