Google is quickly developing products for presence in the Travel space, and with their existing scope and technology resources, I can see them making a significant impact if they want, giving emerging startups like BonVoyaging stiff competition. Here’s my rundown of some recent Google Travel projects…

Top five travel items that make me think Google may be trying to take over the travel industry:

• Tour Builder
