Who isn’t interested in travel sites to make life just a bit easier? Gone are the days that when it came time to book a trip whether for business or fun, you’d pick up the phone and call the travel agent. And they’d take care of everything and poof you’d receive your paper work and then be ready to travel. Well I’m here to tell you that those days are gone and a thing of the past. Now it’s all about hoping on the computer and letting your fingers do the walking until you find the right travel sites online.

It’s all About Dollars and Sense when it comes to Travel Sites!

In the past year American consumers have spent well over $100 billion on travel sites for business and pleasure travel. And per Hudson Crossing, a New York based strategy and execution advisory firm that help clients raise the financial performance of their assets in industries including travel, hospitality and technology, that figure is set to rise next year.

To-date online travel shopping and planning has become the second largest online success second only to pornography. And the travel agents are still around and working and you guessed it utilizing great and helpful travel sites.

Our Readers Top Travel Sites

There really is an unbelievable amount of travel sites out there ready to help accomplish the travel task at hand. Finding the ones that work best for each individual traveler can be a test. And like all kinds of businesses some travel sites are successful and find the right crowd and some do not.

We asked our readers what were some of the better travel planning websites they use and here are the top three that help a traveler travel:

TourRadar is a social platform for group organized tours and tops the list of online places to go to compare and book group tours. TourRadar has assisted travelers to explore and compare over 20,000 organized group tours (offered through over 500 operators) that visit over 200 countries around the world. By utilizing their online tools they help travelers to become knowledgeable prior to making those all-important organized group travel buying decisions. And it that’s not enough, they connect travelers in the same groups so they can communicate and engage prior to departing on the tour.

Kayak was created by the originators of Expedia, Orbitz and Travelocity and has been chosen by MasterTheEvent readers as one of the top travel sites. This website helps travelers to get the best possible deals; by taking care of all that dreaded legwork and comparing travel costs. This great travel search website finds and provides the greatest buys on flights, hotels, rental cars as well as vacation trips all at the best possible prices. And by utilizing the various travel tools users are able to manage all the different parts of their bookings.

Triporama is a group travel planning site that assists people with planning trips that involve lots of different bits and pieces. This travel site helps to make planning group trips effortless and fun-filled by discovering and sharing ideas and advice, finding group travel deals and specials for family trips to friend vacations and everything else in between. As the travel site says, Triporama tools makes it easy to create it (the trip), share it (with the group), discuss it (work together) and enjoy it (take the trip) hardly leaving your desk.

I’m all for anything that will help save time, money and energy if in fact it works. And while lots of  travel sites make high flying guarantees the question is do they produce. Thanks to our readers for participating in our latest survey and providing us with their favorite travel sites that actually do deliver.
