Well regarded content site Travellr says it will retain its core and free Q&A service as it heads toward an official launch after securing funding from a major travel insurance firm.
World Nomads Group bought into the business in September 2009, a mere six months after co-founders Ian Cumming and Scott Woodhouse threw open the service from an internet cafe in the South-East Asian backpackers retreat of Laos.
Cumming says the next 12 months will mostly be taken up with working out a wider revenue model for the site as well as increase its distribution.
