What’s Wego?
Wego is Asia-Pacific’s leading travel search engine. Like millions of others, you may have visited our site already. Surely you’ve seen the “powered by Wego” tag on the travel channels of major regional web portals such as Yahoo!, MSN, eBay and others.

We search over 150 airlines, hotel chains and travel agencies to find consumers the absolute best deal. We then deep link consumers right into the travel site’s booking engine so they don’t need to retrace their steps. We’ve also plugged in the world’s best hotel review engine – which reads reviews from across the internet, decides if they are positive or negative, how much so, and why. All of this is arranged into easy-to-click tag clouds with “guest satisfaction” scores. Nice. Never again do you need to read my grandparents’ strong opinions of a hotel’s pillowcases while planning your honeymoon – unless you want to.
