A2Z Traveler
A2Z Traveler bills itself as “The Ultimate Travel-Only Search Engine and Directory” and they are well on their way to becoming that. When we visited, they had accumulated “more than 65,000 of the very best travel websites from around the world.” in their directory, which is supplemented with results from the DMOZ project.
Searching for travel-related goods and services has become one of the principal uses of the Internet and, considering that volume, it’s logical that travel-only search engines and directories would serve that market. A2Z Traveler does that very well.
The website design is top rate and uses pastel colors give you that informal, travel and vacation feel. While the navigation system is quite detailed, it manages to remain simple and intuitive. Graphics are well incorporated and only used to enhance navigation, not overpower it.
While the directory and search features are the principal components of this website, it successfully supplements them with targeted topics of specialty travel and/or seasonal links. “Shortcuts” to air travel, cruising, destinations and highway travel are just a few. When we visited the site in February, their “Trip Planning Toolbox” offered Top 10 links to Ski Resorts and Cruise Destinations. Season specific travel content is an excellent feature.
While this website is ad-supported, advertising is minimal and the majority of ads are related to travel.
A2Z Traveler earned 5 stars. It’s well designed, content rich and a great resource for travelers.
