Youtravel has launched a new consumer website and become a member of the Travel Trust Association (TTA), providing full financial protection to its users.

According to Youtravel.com, the hotel is the most important part of any holiday. Therefore a search engine asks users where they want to go first and focuses on this destination. A smart filter lets users state how much they want to spend, the star rating and board basis.

The site features 40,000 hotels in popular holiday spots across the Mediterranean, long haul resorts and cities worldwide, as well as destination guides, weather reports and Google maps.

The company is part of the YouTravel Group, which launched in 2006 as a supplier to international travel industry.
