"By incorporating TripMania's travel deals into BookingBuddy, we can now focus on offering consumers the complete travel booking experience, from searching for travel from a variety of trusted travel brands to booking the latest hot deals," said Daniel Saul, founder and president of Smarter Living, Inc, parent company of BookingBuddy.
