Travelocity India, one of the leading providers of direct travel services to end consumers in India, has launched a search engine of domestic flights for consumers. The new domestic flight booking services will be available on www.travelocity.co.in. According to Himanshu Singh, Managing Director, Travelocity India, the new booking engine will be different from other existing booking engines in the sense that it will display the lowest fare available at a given time, as well as display the rates offered by the airlines and other OTAs on a single grid.
“So far, we had been concentrating on outbound and hotel segment. We are undisputed leaders in the hotel segment globally with 80,000 hotels and 4,000 available in the domestic market. We also have a commendable share in the outbound air segment as well. With this new product, we want to enhance the user experience through a unique user experience,” stated Singh.
“Travelocity will continue to invest aggressively in the Indian market to develop more innovative products and partnerships in 2011,” said Roshan Mendis, Regional Vice President, Travelocity Asia pacific. He further added, “The Indian market is central to our Asia Pacific strategy. We will continue to explore more opportunities in the market in both B2B and B2C business in future also.” According to Mendis, in order to leverage the growth potential of the Indian market, Travelocity and Travelguru operations will be combined and will be spearheaded by Singh. However, the brands will remain separate.
