Albany, NY – September 25, 2009 – Rispar Media, a “travel 2.0” technology start-up based in Albany announced the launch of Rispar (www.Rispar.com) – a travel search engine for online and mobile consumers. Conceived a year ago, Rispar is backed by a team of returnee entrepreneurs and includes a German national in its founding team that has rich travel technology experience.
The proliferation of airlines as well as online travel agencies in USA means that increasingly, consumers have many places to book their tickets, but no guarantee of getting the best deals always at one place. Value-conscious consumers will thus need to spend even more time and effort in finding the travel deal they are looking for on multiple browser windows. Rispar simplifies the travel search experience by looking across all possible sources of travel deals and content and provides up-do-date, real-time pricing and availability information with ticketing and fulfillment directly on the vendor’s portal.
Rispar aims to provide Indian consumers a comprehensive and unbiased platform for searching and comparing airfare information & deals from multiple airlines and online travel agencies and shall soon expand to cover hotels, activities and other travel categories. By showing tax-inclusive fares directly from the airline portals, Rispar empowers consumers with unbiased information, and ensures that do-it-yourself consumers can book tickets with confidence, without the need for a travel agency.
“Online Travel needs to evolve to the next level in USA, and with the arrival of Rispar, consumers shall be freed from the pains of non-transparent pricing, slow search results and barely-usable interfaces. Travel 2.0 has arrived!” - said Okeyo Omondi, the Founder & CEO of Rispar. When asked how Rispar will differentiate its offering from other online travel portals, Okeyo responded - “We don’t sell tickets. We tell you where you can buy them and then give you a direct checkout on the provider’s website. We are thus driven totally by the needs of our users, and we will keep innovating in travel search technology to help travelers find the best deals online – wherever they might be”.
