The lowcosttravelgroup has unveiled Hoteling.com, a new hotel-only booking site that is designed to offer a more user-friendly experience.
The new offering is designed as a mobile-friendly site for customers to book its portfolio of 300,000 hotels around the world. It is already available in a range of global markets and in multiple languages.
“The site has been built in-house with a brief to create a fuss-free experience,” explained Hoteling’s managing director, Duncan Morgan. “The hotels range from five-star luxury city hotels to three-star leisure beach resorts from Australia to Malaysia, the US to Argentina, the UK to South Africa, Russia to Canada and from Germany to Scandinavia.
“The site is already live in 30 major countries offering attractively priced hotels in local currencies with more to come. We now have the ability to roll out new countries, currencies and language capability in a fast, efficient and low-cost method.”
Hoteling officially launched in October and the company said that its first month’s sales are “well above expectations,” with the USA, Australia, France, Argentina and Singapore being the strongest markets.
Lowcosttravelgroup’s CEO, Paul Evans commented; “We are really excited about this new channel and early signs appear extremely positive. We believe global mobile is the key growth area with customers showing an ever greater willingness to self-build holidays in emerging markets. The team has done an incredible job delivering such a simple, scalable multi-language and multi-currency website, crucially with individually differentiated translated content.
“We think it will complement our existing businesses perfectly and opens a new chapter and channel for the group,” Evans concluded.
