Wego operates as a global travel metasearch engine and online marketplace. It aggregates and compares flight, hotel, and travel deals from numerous airlines and online agencies. Utilizing advanced metasearch technology, Wego addresses price fragmentation, providing users transparent comparisons for optimal booking options.
Ross Veitch and Craig Hewett founded Wego in Singapore in 2005. Veitch, a former Yahoo! executive, and Hewett, with executive experience at InterContinental Hotels Group, conceived the platform from the insight that travelers required a streamlined, transparent method for comparing online travel. Their combined expertise guided this development.
The platform serves a diverse global traveler base, particularly in the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia Pacific, who seek to compare and book flights and accommodations. Wego’s mission is to inspire individuals to discover the true value of travel, making planning straightforward. The company aims to expand its reach while prioritizing travel transparency.
