The injection follows $6 million the firms provided in November 2005.


San Francisco-based Viator powers tours for Opodo, Air France, Priceline, Fairmont Hotels and Resorts and hundreds of other distributors.


The new investment will be used to increase its product offerings in key markets, for direct-to-consumer marketing, improving its technology infrastructure and for developing new distribution partnerships, officials said.
