Online travel is the most successful consumer e-commerce category in India accounting for over 80% of the entire Indian e-commerce market. Online Travel Agencies (OTA) are evolving from being mere ticketing agents and are striving to become one-stop destinations for all travel and holiday-related needs.

Goibibo.com, which has more than a million customers and books a large number of hotel room nights each day, is continuing its expansion by forging a two-way connection with RezGain, the next generation channel manager from RateGain, the leader in hospitality and travel technology solutions.

This new connectivity is a boon for RezGain’s hotel customers around the world keen to sell their rooms in the rapidly growing Indian travel market and will ensure that Goibibo.com is updated with accurate rates and availability.

“The Goibibo Hotels platform is driven by domestic travelers from across India and the core sectors are leisure and business travel. Much of our current booking traffic is for top Indian destinations like Goa, Kerala, Srinagar, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai etc. Our partnership with RateGain is strategically significant as it establishes two-way connectivity and will enable us to extend our international reach and also show up to date rates and availability of inventory to our valued customers”, said Sanjay Bhasin, CEO, Goibibo.com.

He further added, “We see a lot of synergies and a win-win proposition in our mutual association. As the local market leader, and being present on all affiliate channels and also on major meta-search channels, we will leverage our considerable network to the advantage of RateGain and our hotel customers.”

“We are delighted to establish this association with Goibibo.com and to expand the opportunities for hotels to leverage the benefits of our channel ecosystem while streamlining their distribution efforts. The new connection also underlines RezGain’s rapid growth as a premier distribution platform”, commented Vishal Jain, CPO, RateGain.
