Viajala is a metasearch engine created to satisfy the traveler

Ecuadornews:

This portal provides information on the offer of hotels and airlines. Monetize your service thanks to the advertising that is displayed on your website. Once upon a time there were two French travelers, Josian Chevallier and Thomas Allier, who, not having a digital tool that allowed them to know all the offers on flights and hotels, insisted on creating one. Thus, in 2013, Viajala was born, a metasearch engine that gathers all the possible information to move easily around the world. That, instead of being a red color, is the beginning of the endless number of adventures that users of its website undertake every day. The growth of this virtual aggregator is such that, of the 30 million searches in 2018, it is set to surpass 40 million in 2019; the goal for this year is to reach 44 million. Not bad for a company that in its first year in the market did not reach one million visits. The company monetizes the provision of its services with advertising that hire different brands to promote on its platform. And although the history of Viajala began in Colombia, its beginnings go back to the experiences of Josian (44 years old), who left his country two decades ago to reside in Africa, then in Asia and go to England. Backpack to the back, this Norman learned to value every data he collected in his countless expeditions, so it seemed inconceivable not to find in Latin America a single portal with the information required to travel. "When we started touring Colombia in 2011 we could not find a tool that would tell us what was necessary about the offers. There are many travel agencies that are search engines but do not have information on all airlines, "he says. After establishing the search engine his knowledge about each country gave him the guidelines to improve it gradually, he learned that the inhabitants of each nation have different needs. The reading is broad and leads to understand aspects such as high travel times or payment methods used in each territory by local suppliers. Based in Medellín, Viajala expanded to Chile, Peru, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil and Ecuador, which it reached at the end of 2017. It maintains that the contribution of its platform is not a small thing, in Ecuador for example, the Wingo services, Colombian airline of low cost, did not appear in the traditional search engines "and if one does not know that it exists, you lose the possibility of going to Bogotá in direct flight for a cheaper price".
