TripAdvisor catches up with Travolution

You heard it here first, but the Mother Ship in Massachusetts has finally announced TripAdvisor's purchase of HolidayWatchdog.com.

No other nuggets of information in the press release.

We've heard - and TA is understandably keeping schtum on fees - that the deal is worth around £9-£10 million.

So well done to Chris Brown and Chris Clarkson, HW's founders, who are both well respected in the affiliate world and wider travel community.

Unsuprisingly they have chosen not to stick around once the transition is complete.

Below is a picture showing the last time TripAdvisor caught up with Travolution. [Sorry Charlotte]
