Free Travel Lead Website Takes off

eTN

Todd Frazer and Jon Lynn their new travel matching service www.Compete4YourSeat.com is a niche website focusing solely on travel. Our goal is to globally bring the Travel Agent
and the traveler together. After extensive research, our findings have shown us that the online traveler is looking for assistance in booking their trips. Travel Agents are here to offer the frustrated traveler solutions to the inevitable. Flights are frequently oversold, canceled, late, or overdue due to various circumstances.

We have found that this is forcing the traveler to look beyond the Internet while standing on the airport line.

Here they are able to once again communicate with a travel agent and complete their journey. The new generation of travelers on the Internet, are not old enough to know about the benefits of a travel agent, and through our site, they are able to understand the usefulness of an agent.

Many other factors contributing to our success have been the rapid increase in the price of oil, and the many more ridiculous and outrageous surcharges that airlines have added to the cost of a flight extra charges for bags, aisle seats, etc.). This has made air travel more expensive for the average traveler, and again, this is where our site comes into play. Travel Agents are privy to last minute fares, overrides and many other creative ways to offer discounts to the traveler that are not found through your basic search engine travel website. Our site provides the online traveler with an abundance of bids from the hundreds of Free subscribed Travel Agents that submit their bids to the traveler and save them money.

Compete4YourSeat.com is not your basic website; we are an innovative site that has proven that both the traveler and the travel agent need each other. In the past 30 days www.compete4yourseat.com has added over 8000 new members and over 235 travel agents.

Additionally The New York Times is doing a write up about us in the Sunday Times,
travel section in the next 2 weeks. We have already started a Portuguese version of our website in Brazil which will be launching in June, and we expect to open more language/country specific versions in the near future as we become a global brand.
