Company Overview

JourneyMart.com is a division of Interzign Solutions Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, India. JourneyMart.com was born in response to a professionally perceived need for a travel platform on the internet to enable global networking and business transactions at one searchpoint on the web.

Set up in April 2000, JourneyMart.com is a 'Travel Publication' that leads into a Marketplace for Travel on the Internet. It is the first point of search for information that connects travellers to travel providers and the entire travel community, through customized and intelligent database searches.

JourneyMart.com is singular in that it focuses on the consumer's specific travel needs. On one hand it provides the consumer with information infrastructure developed in-house with comprehensive destination information on 186 countries and over 600 cities. On the other, it also provides them with access to various travel products and service providers, enabling them to make fast and informed choices from multiple and potentially unlimited options. A consumer on making his choices can then communicate, query, book and buy online directly with service providers on JourneyMart.com.

Simultaneously, JourneyMart.com is a business platform for the Travel industry facilitating quick and unhindered trade and nurturing a focused e-business environment. An alliance with Journeymart.com creates another sales and distribution arm of the existing business of the travel service provider that gives him an extended reach and access to more markets and the opportunity to network and do business anywhere in the world from this one point on the web.

JourneyMart.com has professional, dynamic and committed teams which handle technical development and design, editorial content, customer support, advertising, sales and marketing. The teams are constantly reviewing new developments in various areas to make the JourneyMart experience a valuable one for the user - be it a traveller or a travel business. The site has many plans for the next phase including translation into other languages.
