TravelMartIndia.com Pvt Ltd a travel web portal announced the launch of vamoose.in, which is apparently the country's first group buying travel, leisure and vacation portal. The concept of group buying has already seen success the world over allowing companies selling in bulk to leverage and offer deep discounts to consumers.

Vamoose.in's platform has been developed and will be run by EL Media, a UK-based technology company that has perfected the group-buying model across the globe. Their platform is in operation in South Africa, Israel, Kenya, Russia, and now in India.

'Vamoose.in' is in talks with several travel, leisure and hospitality companies, to join hands with it, in offering special deals that will be marketed by Vamoose.in.

"On the offer, will be a range of special packages from weekend getaways to hill-stations to long national and international vacations, and from adventure packages to rest, relaxation and wellness packages", said Manoj Gursahani, chairman, TravelMartIndia Pvt. Ltd.

"Every day, Vamoose.in will send out a newsletter for new deals. Members will have about a week to purchase their vouchers, and the validity of the deals will be for several months. Consumers get all the price benefits of buying as a group, but retain the flexibility of travelling at their convenience anytime within the validity period," Hari Swaminathan, CEO, TravelMartIndia Pvt. Ltd added.
