The agreement will see 4moles provide golf concierge services at selected Accor hotels in India.

The service will be available at Accor’s Sofitel, Pullman, Grand Mercure and Novotel properties throughout the country.

"Our partnership with Accor will help us act as a catalyst to leverage on the development of Golfing Tourism in the country through Internet and various e-commerce channels," said 4moles CEO Dinesh Thakur, CEO.

Guests will have access to an online tee time booking system, an online payment gateway, rental of branded golf sets from either the individual hotels or golf courses, caddies and golfing holiday packages.
