A new 2.0 travel site from the world’s largest student and youth travel company, STA aims to connect and bond student travelers – a community long ignored in online travel! statravel193.com has miles to go in terms of destinations and content but it’s a great initiative – students (whether domestic or international) are not necessarily a much-sought-after market for travel but could use a little attention in terms of specials for spring breaks, cultural tours and group travel. International students looking for a good deal to visit home could also benefit from a site that aggregates offers and provides tips on travelling abroad.
Student travel gets a shot in the arm
