Hotels.com offers travellers 100,000 properties as part of continued global growth

Hotels.com, the leading hotel booking website, has further increased the number of properties it offers on its sites, passing 100,000 for the first time. The additionalproperties have come as the business has both broadened and deepened its offer, making substantial additions to the numbers of smaller, family-run hotels in European holiday destinations (particularly in Italy and Southern France) as Hotels.com expands beyond its already strong city-break offer.

Nigel Pocklington, Hotels.com says: “As a business, we are focused on growing despite difficult market conditions. We will continue to gain share in those markets where we already operate and offering a wider range of properties across city break, summer and winter leisure and business markets is the bedrock of this.  At the same time, we have ambitions to go into new country markets around the world and getting our product offer right by attracting as broad a range of hotels as possible, will be key.”
 

There have also been significant numbers of properties added in developing markets including some of the newer Middle East destinations, Southern Asia, China, India, South America and Southern Africa.  This has meant that U.S and European travellers have been able to access a wider range of hotels in these markets as leisure trips increase to further-flung destinations.  The growth has also come as Hotels.com launches stand-alone, local-market websites in the Middle East, India, and other parts of Asia Pacific.

Nigel Pocklington, adds: “As hoteliers around the world have struggled to maintain occupancy, they have come to see Hotels.com as an excellent way to reach millions of travellers around the world.  So we think that now is the time to recruit new suppliers, positioning ourselves for continued expansion in online bookings.”

At the same time as Hotels.com has added to the number of hotels customers can choose from, the site now offers a wider range of tools to help them make the right choice.  These include the addition of TripAdvisor hotel reviews and photographs and more detailed descriptions, which not only cover hotel features and location, but also “expert tips” on things to do in the local area.
