During the Web's evolution, though, the good ol'-fashioned practice of
enlisting a travel agent to build the perfect, well-informed trip has been left
behind. This lack of personal travel assistance is exactly what the new Web
2.0-powered travel service Zicasso is targeting.
So this is a travel agent listing service with a web 2.0 front end. You put in where you want to go, how you want to get there, then what you want to to see when you get there, and finally what activities you want to participate in and the site serves up a few targeted responses to choose from.
So if you want to go on a Civil War tour, with a side order of hiking, but stay in a 5 star hotel then the site serves up a few targeted choices for you. It sounds like a great idea because the travel agencies are reviewed only by people that used that agency in the past. It would be like reviews on Amazon only being open to people that already own the object.
It would be cool to book a trip to Germany for instance and be able to pick from several different agencies all with different options and prices based on my recommendations and have it all reviewed by people who have actually used the service in the past.
