Ones to Watch: Justgo.ie
What is it?
JustGo.ie is a new Irish-owned travel website that offers a new concept in travel. Justgo allows you to search by price for real last-minute holiday accommodation for travel planned within 14 days.
JustGo.ie allows you to search for holiday
accommodation deals by how much you have to spend as well as by holiday type,
location, property grading and dates available. Justgo has found a niche in the
online travel industry by setting the price bands for the industry to fit into,
thereby allowing the consumer to easily select from one of eight price
categories for their upcoming trip.
Irish holidaymakers can search for a last-minute holiday within Ireland to suit their budget as well as the specific type of holiday break they desire.
All accommodation offered on JustGo.ie is available for travel planned within 14 days, which means consumers can see the benefits of competitive prices, making it an authentic last=minute travel website. Prices start from as little as €29 per person sharing for a break away and range up to €450 for a last-minute family self-catering holiday.
Who's behind it?
Mary Power and Sharon McIlvenna, who between them have more than 20 years experience in the travel industry, including Trailfinders, Ebookers, and SelfCatering.ie.
Financial situation?
The company is 100% privately funded.
Future plans?
To grow and develop Justgo.ie across Ireland and then further expansion into the UK market for Justgo.com.
The reaction from the trade so far has far exceeded expectations, and bookings have taken off from day one, showing there is a gap in the market for this type of travel.
Justgo has also become TV3's travel partner allowing the company direct access to TV promotion for all of their partners.
