Lowcostbeds to speed up online access
Lowcostbeds is set to improve access to its properties in the next few weeks.
It is promising to introduce a better version of its XML gateway to speed up access for online agents.
Group director of sales Paul Riches said the group has already more than doubled its long haul sales through the trade in the last 12 months.
The company now has around 100,000 hotels in its portfolio, including more than 20,000 long haul properties.
The company has recently expanded into more long haul destinations, with particular focus on the Caribbean, Far East and Australia, the USA and Middle East.
"We have been steadily building our long haul business over the last few years through the trade, and now see the opportunity to really accelerate this growth," said David Weatherson, long haul product and purchasing manager.
"We are not as well known for long haul destinations as short haul but aim to change that perception over the forthcoming months."
New destinations include Kenya, Gambia, Maldives, Mauritius and South America, with many new hotels sourced from international chains such as Centara, Hilton and Barcel-³ group.
"With our improved technology, we are now able to offer a much greater range of long haul hotels than ever before," added Riches.
