Wego (formerly known as Bezurk) is a travel search engine based in Singapore. It operates 52 country sites (CcTLD) in over 20 languages and local currencies. Wego displays travel rate results in real time from over 700 travel sites, so users can shop and compare flight and hotel prices available online.
Wego displays a combination of local and international airfares and hotel search results from online travel agencies (OTA), airlines and hotels on desktop or travel app for iOS and Android. Once a user has selected their preference, they are redirected to the travel supplier to complete their booking.
Wego was founded in Singapore in 2005 by Ross Veitch and Craig Hewett.
From its Singapore headquarters, Wego launched regional offices in Dubai, Bangalore and Jakarta.
In January 2008, Wego received Series A funding of US$4.5 million from News Digital Media, the Australian digital arm of News Limited.
In December 2010, the company secured US$13million in Series B funding from Tiger Global Management.
In June, 2013, Wego closed its Series C funding round of US$17 million from Tiger Global Management, Crescent Point Group and SquarePeg Capital.
Wego's core markets are in the Asia Pacific, Middle East and India. Each month Wego sends flight and hotel booking referrals worth US$1.5B to its travel partners.
In June 2014, the company launched Wego's Private Marketplace providing advertisers access to Wego's travel audiences via programmatic buying.
