Skyscanner swoops to clear the Fogg

EDINBURGH-BASED global travel search site Skyscanner has acquired Fogg, a Barcelona-based company focused on making internet hotel search “simpler and faster”.

The acquisition, forecast in this week’s Scotland on Sunday, is a “significant step in Skyscanner’s strategy of expanding its travel offering” into other important areas of its users’ travel plans, said the firm’s chief executive Gareth Williams, who added: “Our users are going to love hotel search as a result of this acquisition.

“The Fogg team share Skyscanner’s passion for simple, natural and flexible travel solutions.”
