Travelocity Global has announced that it has acquired India’s leading online hotel distribution network, Travelguru. The company is one of the world’s largest online travel companies, with its Travelocity, lastminute.com and ZUJI businesses worldwide generating more than US$10 billion in gross travel sales annually.
Travelguru distributes a portfolio of more than 4,000 hotels in India, most of which are independent properties, and it has a strong domestic customer-base. This complements Travelocity’s existing distribution of branded, chain and luxury properties in India, which are available to travellers domestically on Travelocity India, as well to international inbound travellers booking on Travelocity’s global network of online travel sites.
Travelocity Global plans to keep both of its online travel businesses in India: Travelocity India and Travelguru. Roshan Mendis, Regional Vice President of Travelocity Asia Pacific, confirmed; “Travelguru will continue to operate as a stand alone business and brand in India, focused on growing Indian hotel demand, Indian hotel supply and a wide distribution network. Travelocity India will continue its full service online travel agent (OTA) focus, which includes international and domestic air, hotel and package travel.”
