"Partnering with momondo was a no brainer for us," said Pauline Frommer, publisher of Frommers.com.  "We feel having their state-of-the-art search engine easily accessible from our site is a value add for our customers, as it will provide them with an important and powerful search tool, allowing them to quickly search for airfares to and from destinations we cover."

In conjunction with the launch, Frommers.com users will notice a fresh new look and feel to the site.

"The next generation of metasearch should offer users much more than functional search," said Martin Lumbye, Board Director at momondo. "Our vision is to serve a growing need for experiences and suggestions, which requires knowledge of what travelers want - and a technological evolution of traditional metasearch. The cooperation with Frommer's and the marriage of Frommers.com content and momondo's search technology is a powerful combination for both travelers and momondo, and serves as another step forward toward further developing metasearch and online travel."

About Arthur Frommer

The son of a Polish-born mother and an Austrian-born father, Arthur Frommer was drafted into the U.S. Army during the Korean War, but was stationed in Europe because of his fluency in German and Russian. During his service, he wrote and self-published a guidebook called The GI's Guide to Traveling in Europe in 1955 that was an immediate hit among his fellow soldiers.  In 1957, Frommer created a civilian version called Europe on 5 Dollars a Day, which became an overnight best seller. He subsequently published guidebooks covering all parts of the globe.  Frommer licensed his travel guide book business to Simon & Schuster in 1977. 

Eventually, the Frommer's series was purchased by John Wiley & Sons, and in August 2012, Google purchased the travel guides. Through all the exchanges, Arthur Frommer was always deeply involved with the guide books.  In 2013, Frommer reacquired control of the guidebooks bearing his name and has come full circle, now self-publishing his iconic travel books again.  Additionally, Arthur Frommer writes a travel column syndicated through King Features with his daughter Pauline Frommer, with whom he also co-hosts a weekly syndicated radio show, "The Travel Show with Arthur & Pauline Frommer."
