If you want a travel website that combines an online community, bargain hunting and Internet mapping, then the new and personalized version of Yahoo Travel is just for you.

The new Yahoo Travel transforms the way people plan and research their trips. Based on the person's history activity in the website, Yahoo! Travel provides recommendations from travel guides, other travelers with similar interests as well as the opportunity to label itineraries that can be kept for future reference.

The nice thing about the new Yahoo! Travel feature is that it allows people to book flights online together in real-time through the use of the Yahoo Messenger. Apart from this, the new feature allows you to rummage the Internet for hotel and airfare deals (through the FareChase software), search for compiled information about your prospective destination, and access Yahoo! Maps that not only shows you the directions, landmarks and business in your destination, but as well as terrain, streets and buildings.

The new and personalized Yahoo! Travel was launched today, May 9, 2007
