Booking.com, Europe’s leading hotel portal, has expanded its presence in Spain by opening a second office in Madrid. Booking.com has been present in Barcelona since October 2003, and currently represents over 5,400 Spanish hotels. Booking.com said that the expansion is intended to broaden its market reach and better serve its local hotel supplier/partners.
“We are very pleased to now be operating from Madrid. The ever-increasing number of Spanish partner hotels makes it essential that we maintain our close and reliable relationships with the hoteliers. With a second office in the capital city, we can attend to the larger hotel chains based thereabout more effectively.
