Jetbay offers private itineraries that cover popular destinations like the Great Wall as well as more obscure venues, aiming to move beyond standard package tours. The service was launched by the founders of Wowo (also known as 55Tuan), one of China’s largest group-deals sites; Wowo held an initial public offering on Nasdaq last month. The platform uses data to identify where tourists want to go and provides click-to-book reservations, which the company says many China travel sites lack. Many of its suppliers are merchants that have already worked with Wowo, and new partners include international distributors for services such as airline bookings. Jetbay currently focuses on customers in Korea and Japan, the U.S., Southeast Asia, and Europe and plans to expand its venue network and customer relations. Its recent seed funding will be used for marketing, increasing the number of venues it works with, and improving customer relations.
