:"IgoUgo is also a term used for a type of turn-based strategy game."

IgoUgo is an online travel community and travel-planning resource. Winner of the 2004 Webby Award for “Best Travel Site in the U.S.,” IgoUgo rewards its contributing writers and photographers with "GO Points", which can be redeemed for gift cards to online retailers, frequent flyer miles and other travel products. IgoUgo.com was launched in June 2000.

Members

Social networking is a key component of IgoUgo’s travel community. All members have personal profiles and a message center, which allows users to learn more about the person behind the review (their favorite destinations, films, books, etc), then to contact that member with questions or to just say hello. IgoUgo members can also create a personal friends network, which allows them to stay up-to-date on all their favorite IgoUgo contributors' travel journals.

Anyone can join IgoUgo (for free) to share his/her own travel reviews and photos.

As of 2007, IgoUgo is a sister site under Travelocity; both websites are owned by Sabre Holdings.
