Groople: Online travel planning for groups
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
While the individual traveler can often access all of their flight, hotel and rental car information from one online site, group travelers often finds that visits to multiple sites are required in order to get the same information. Until now.
Groople is designed with the group traveler in mind. As with other sites, you can input information about your travel dates in search of air fare, hotels and car rentals. The responses, however, are geared towards providing you with the best rates for groups, as opposed to the best individual rates. This makes trip planning for large parties much easier.
Groople also offers special collaboration tools. Group members can all join the site to work on the plans together. Groups that take regular vacations together can use the site for ideas about potential future trips based on the type of group and the basic interests that they may all have.
There’s no guarantee, of course, that you’ll obtain the best rates through Groople. But it provides a good starting point for planning your trips.

Kathrynv,
I attended a business travel function and talked to a couple of meeting planners about a new service called iGroupHotels. Has anyone heard about them?
