Travelocity is high on hotels booking in India rather than airline ticketing like other travel portals. Scott Blume, president for Asia Pacific and ZUJI CEO, has been quoted as saying by Express TravelWorld: “The focus on real-time local and international hotel reservations marks a strategic differentiator for Travelocity versus many other online travel agencies in India.”
Ditto Himanshu Singh, managing director of Travelocity India, who said, “We have already processed many bookings from eager travellers showing that Indians are very ready, willing and able to make real-time hotel bookings online with Travelocity India.” The company also offers users the ability to do calendar shopping of live inventory and rates.
As Indian travel portals are trying to shore up their revenues by increasing the hotel booking pie, Travelocity has launched with a “hotel first” strategy.
