Travel Ad Network (TAN), a leading vertical ad network in the travel vertical, has partnered with Virgin on vtravelled.com, which launched this week. Virgin Atlantic's new travel Web site will be added to TAN's portfolio of more than 200 travel planning sites, including BBC's Lonely Planet, Rand McNally, and Maps.com, reaching more than 11 million monthly unique visitors in the U.S. A top audience aggregator in the travel space, TAN boasts reach approaching the largest online travel agencies (OTAs) such as Orbitz and Expedia, although it is not a booking agent.

"vtravelled.com, with the commitment of Virgin, will be the largest online travel industry launch of the year and we are very excited to bring the vtravelled Web business and the travel-focused audience to market for advertisers," says Brian Silver, TAN's President and acting CEO.

"It is a huge advantage working with TAN, which has fantastic experience in this area. Together I believe we have developed some must-have tools for travelers, and as the community grows they will help us shape and refine the offering," says Lysette Gauna, Creative Director of vtravelled.com.
