Simplifying the maze of international hotel bookings

A good strategy for planning the perfect holiday is finding the right accommodation. One must choose accommodation methodically to avoid any inconveniences during their dream vacation.

Everything can impact the quality of one's stay, from room selection to the hotel's location.

With the rise of international travel after a long two-year hiatus, the problems with international hotel bookings are now more prominent than ever. For this reason, the many complexities of international hotel bookings and their solutions are discussed today to solve the travel troubles people face in the digital age of tourism.

Choosing the perfect stay

Times have changed drastically since the days when third-party agents were the only channel for booking international hotels. In the digital era of travel, there is more transparency, visibility and options available regarding hotel bookings. However, Bangladesh still lags far behind in digitized travel, with only 5 per cent of the tourism scene having visibility in the digital space.

GoZayaan is a company working to solve this issue by bringing various new and exciting tech-led innovations to the industry. Keeping up pace with the surge of international travel, the travel-tech platform onboarded thousands of international hotels to cater to Bangladeshi travellers

The website currently has a collection of over 650,000 hotels, the largest hotel inventory available on any travel platform in Bangladesh. In addition, hotels can easily be chosen based on price, star rating, distance from the city centre, and major features, simplifying the process.

Smart payment for smart travellers

Even a few years ago, people would have to look through foreign websites when searching for international hotels online. While these websites offer a wide range of hotels along with prices and pictures, booking through them is impossible without access to specialised credit cards.

Moreover, paying at the property increases the risk of overspending nowadays due to skyrocketing exchange rates for foreign currency. There is also a shortage of dollars to be found in the open market, causing additional distress.

GoZayaan almost instantaneously solved this problem by onboarding a huge collection of foreign hotels on their platform. It is now possible to pay through local currency and any method of payment locally availed in Bangladesh. Even using EMI is an option when booking international hotels now, which greatly reduces the financial burden of a foreign tour.

Everything under one umbrella

Perhaps the greatest convenience GoZayaan has brought is assembling all the fundamental components of travel under a single umbrella. Whether it's flights, hotels or tours, the website has the necessary solutions and value-added services. Travellers can purchase international travel insurance, RT-PCR tests and even baggage protection from the website, along with their essential travel services.

GoZayaan aims to provide an end-to-end automated holistic travel booking experience. Whether one prefers relaxing vacations by the beach or daring adventures, travel is for everyone. Regardless of preferences, travellers deserve the freedom to explore every horizon of their dream of travelling. GoZayaan is here to enable travellers to achieve their limitless dreams.
