It also holds the #1 rank for travel bookings in Saudi Arabia.
On a mission to help people discover the actual value of travel, Wego has imagined and created some of the most well-loved products for travelers worldwide and is dually Headquartered in Singapore and Dubai, with offices in India, Indonesia, Egypt, Pakistan, and Malaysia.
Wego harnesses powerful technology that simplifies the process of searching, comparing, and booking flights and hotels across hundreds of airlines, hotels, and online travel agency websites. Wego is backed by top-tier investors, including Tiger Global, Crescent Group, Square Peg Capital, MEVP, and the MBC Group.
Ross Veitch co-founded the travel metasearch site in 2005 with Craig Hewett to give Southeast Asia its first real-time, bookable tool. At Yahoo!, he recognized the desire for travelers to research their flight and accommodation options independently and from live inventory. Veitch joined Southeast Asia operations and kick-started various initiatives, including successful search, media, commerce, communications, mobile, and community platforms.
Veitch’s passion for travel and technology were combined as he became Chief Product Officer of Wego and assembled one of the strongest web development teams in APAC today. Consecutively today, Wego is used by millions of people every month, which is why the team works tirelessly to make their end users’ experience of planning their trips as seamless as possible. The ingrained idea of the human need to travel – “why we go?” – is one that the company has woven into the name of its organization — Wego.
