Tripology - "Agent Screening", rather than "Travel Searching"

Tripoloy is another interesting trip planner. Rather than a search engine returning tons of filtered information, it connects travellers with up to three travel agents who has been "screened properly" to give proposals and quotations based on traveller's request. This makes sense. For example, for a traveller visiting New York where he has never been there before, a local agent's advice is valuable and the recommendations can save a lot of researching time. In this sense, Tripology becomes an agent of agent, rather than a search engine. Will this model be successful? I think so, but in limited scale. It has its own niche. But its lack of brand and credibility will take long time to catch up major attention. And it doesn't change the fundament way of how tranditional travel agent are doing business. The way of distribution is not changed and the cost of distribution is not reduced. The efficiency should be improved due to the "screening process" but sitll in question.
