Omio Acquires Rome2rio, Travel Aggregator

Omio, a multimodal travel aggregator company, has acquired Melbourne-based Rome2rio to expand beyond Europe. The company raised $150 million in funding a year ago, and the acquisition reflects some of that money being spent on acquisitions and growth. In addition to Rome2rio, Omio also recently acquired BusRadar, another travel aggregator company. Both companies will continue to operate their own brands, but will work together to provide consumers with better travel experiences.

Rome2rio is a travel aggregator website that compares the price and time of different ground transportation options. Its database includes more than 3,000 bus operators and more than six hundred airlines. Users will also find information on local attractions and things to do, but the website does not feature an app or allow multi-stop route planning.

Travelers may be surprised to find that the Andros Islands is a one-hour flight from Florida. Various airlines fly from Florida to The Bahamas, including Silver Airways, Copa Airlines, and Bahamasair. Alternatively, they can take a bus from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International to Freeport. Bus tickets are usually less expensive and take about 2h 16m. However, other airline flights can cost upwards of $300. When booking flights, be aware that the site’s fees will be higher than the actual cost.

Besides the website, Rome2rio uses an SEO technique called Place Autocomplete to improve its search results. This technique involves embedding an image of a city or location from Google Maps into a landing page. This map is cached on Rome2rio’s server so that visitors can see search results in milliseconds. According to Unbounce, 70% of shoppers rate page speed as a factor in determining whether or not they will purchase a product or service.

The site allows travelers to customize their travel plans by choosing a flight, train, or bus route. It also allows users to change currency and language. Once a travel itinerary has been created, travelers can start researching the destinations they are visiting. Rome2rio also has a handy “Things to Do” option that allows them to filter their results by type.

Rome2rio also has an app that provides easy access to travel details on the go. Users can access the app on a computer or mobile device and can also share their itinerary with other users. The app has also received numerous awards and offers an intuitive interface. This makes it very easy to use for those who want to travel spontaneously.

The main advantage of a one-way flight is the flexibility. It is easy to switch destinations without worrying about missing your flight. You can choose from more than 500 destinations. A one-way flight between Delhi and Montego Bay (Jamaica) costs $1,394, round-trip. Rome2rio also allows you to make reservations online through selected operators, making it easy to find a suitable flight.
