In APRIL next year Webjet will launch PlanIt, an online service for travellers. Chief executive David Clarke says the company has invested about $1 million developing the service and the same again on marketing.
PlanIt will allow travellers to store their travel budget, share their travel plans with friends online, upload photographs, link to Google Earth and all of Webjet's travel and booking services. It will also provide TravelVault, a secure and encrypted environment where users can store personal information such as passport numbers and spectacle or medical prescriptions, which they could access when overseas and download on to a memory stick or portable storage.
For the week of October 7 it was the eighth most popular travel site in Australia and, according to the BRW Fast 100, its 131 per cent turnover growth makes it the country's 20th-fastest growing business.
