Mobissimo  is the only travel search engine to specialize in international travel and  offers unparalleled depth in travel resources for deals to three foreign  destinations favoured by UK  residents: the U.S.,  continental Europe and India. Continuing  Mobissimo’s trajectory of organic growth and international expansion, Mobissimo  UK  is the second European site operated by the company. Mobissimo launched its  French site (<a href="http://www.mobissimo.fr/">www.mobissimo.fr</a>) in  September 2005.  < br />

 Beyond  Europe, Asia has quickly developed into a  white-hot market for online travel search, due to the Indian economic boom and  the emergence of a new generation of <a href="http://www.mobissimo.co.uk/search_airfare.php">low cost airlines</a> to meet increasing  demand for travel options.  Last month  Mobissimo became the first travel search engine to specifically target India with the  launch of its Indian site (<a href="http://www.mobissimo.in/">www.mobissimo.in</a>)  bringing Indian consumers the largest selection of travel deals available both  domestically and worldwide.  < br />

“We focus on  entering the fastest growing travel markets globally to propose the best  choices and recommendation tools to our users. The UK  leisure travel market is very active and the UK has always represented a  significant source of traffic for Mobissimo,” said Beatrice Tarka, Mobissimo’s  CEO.  < br />

 Mobissimo  searches prices directly from 166 different travel suppliers across the world,  based on visitors’ search criteria, and displays them with one simple search.

  Just like  a Virtual Travel Concierge, Mobissimo’s innovative recommendation tools make it  easy for travellers to discover new destinations and routes, particularly  useful in summer and winter holiday seasons when fares to popular destinations  tend to sell out. Users can enter queries with Mobissimo OneBox natural  language search, tap PowerSearch for multiple city searches, consult MobiCombo  for dynamic ticket combinations, and run <a href="http://www.mobissimo.co.uk/search_activity.php">ActivitySearch</a> for theme-based travel  planning, directly on the Mobissimo home page.  < br />
