LONDON, August 19 /PRNewswire/ —

- isango!, the Largest Online travel Experience Provider in
Europe Launches German Site http://www.isango.de in Record Time.

Another first for isango.com as it rolls out the first, truly
localised travel experiences offering in the German market. Only 4 months
after raising the necessary funds, the dynamic startup has put together a
dedicated site for German customers on http://www.isango.de. Far more than
just a translated version of isango! - it is a site truly tailored to German
customers, in line with the country’s e-commerce regulations and crucially,
offering tour and activity products across the world conducted in the German
language.

Germany has the highest volumes of outbound tourism in the
world and a confident online consumer. German low cost carriers and DIY
online travel agents are well established in the market, making it ripe for
an unbundled ‘tours and activity’ offering.

And it’s not only consumers crying out for the category.
isango! enjoys a hybrid B2C and B2B business model, and has received a very
enthusiastic response from strategic distribution partners in Germany. The
company will soon be rolling out its German ‘gold’ label product to its
pan-European partners and is actively seeking additional business
partnerships to extend its reach and online awareness in Germany.

Daniele Beccari, Vice President Europe, isango! says:

“As the first travel experiences aggregator to launch a truly
localised European offering, we are hugely excited about the opportunity that
the German market presents. Since launch, 18 months ago, we have received a
great deal of consumer and trade interest from Germany prompting our choice
of this market as our first localised offering! http://www.isango.de
represents a big milestone in our European expansion plans.”
The launch in France is currently under development and is
projected to happen by year end.
