Lowcostbeds investing in US market growth with key sales appointment

Monday, 12 May, 2015 0

After posting a significant rise in total transaction value during 2013/14, lowcosttravelgroup is predicting steady growth ahead for the 2014/15 financial year.

Total accommodation sales are set to surpass $900m for the year, says COO Alex Gisbert.

"Our investment in a strong senior management team, increased connectivity, an enhanced brand, our new app and further technology and hotel supply investments are really delivering returns for the group," Gisbert said.

"In addition, the offices we have developed in Switzerland, Palma, Atlanta and Bangkok are now established, supporting our focus on new global distribution opportunities." Gisbert added.

"Our trade business lowcostbeds remains the key area for the group with demand for global accommodation growing from the 44,000 travel agents and operators currently connected to the website, and 800 plus XML customers."

Focusing on the North American market to drive further growth for the global bedbank, the company’s Atlanta office is now fully operational and it has recently made a key appointment in Shaun Rogers as Head of Sales, USA & Canada.

Rogers has gained extensive market experience after seven years at Hotelbeds, where he served in various management roles in sales and business development.

The lowcostbeds US operation provides 24-hour access via web portal, XML connection and multilingual call center offering a portfolio of more than 250,000 hotels in 450 global destinations
