Thomas Cook India has formed a new partnership with online booking site, OYO Rooms.
The agreement, which is the first of its kind between a travel services company and OYO, will make OYO Rooms’ collection of more than 3,200 Indian hotels available to Thomas Cook India’s leisure and business customers.
All rooms booked via the partnership will offer standardised benefits, including complimentary breakfast and Wi-Fi, and customers will benefit from 24-7 customer service support.
According to Thomas Cook India’s research, there is a “significant and increasing appetite” for standardised and value-driven accommodation in India, from both leisure and business travellers.
“Domestic Indian travellers today are demanding better value in the form of good quality, conveniently located, standardised accommodation and access to this, is in woefully short supply,” said Abraham Alapatt, Thomas Cook India’s chief innovation officer & head of marketing & service quality.
“Data also indicates, that the number of middle class Indian households is expected to grow exponentially – from 8.8 million in 2015 to 43.6 million in 2025 – in turn, driving this need further. Our partnership with OYO Rooms offers us a wonderful platform to tap this need & opportunity.”
Kavikrut, OYO Rooms’ chief growth officer, added; “We are absolutely thrilled to join hands with one of the leading tour and travel operators in the country. We have seen a large number of corporate and leisure travellers choosing to travel with reputed partners like Thomas Cook, and through this partnership we hope to bring to them a great hotel experience which is predictable, affordable and easily accessible. At OYO Rooms, we are always looking for ways to enhance the travelling experience of customers, and our partnership with Thomas Cook is another step in that direction.”
