www.SriLanka.Com and Jetwing Hotels announced their decision to
partner their services and provide an online service never before
seen in Sri Lanka: Last minute hotel bookings at lower-than-average
prices, via the convenience of the internet.
With Jetwing hotels being
one of Sri Lanka's biggest hotel chains, and SriLanka.Com the
country’s number one independent travel and leisure website, this is indeed a phenomenal collaboration.
Instead of setting room rates by season, prices changed dynamically based on the number
of hotel rooms that remain unsold for a 14 day period. This ensures that the prices found
through this revolutionary service will be drastically more competitive than through
traditional distribution channels.
"Every night approximately 40-50% of all hotel rooms across the country sit empty, yet the
fixed costs of running a hotel stay the same," says Prince Seeva, Director Sales,
Srilanka.Com. "Using the Last Minute system a hotel can now sell its unsold rooms , on a
clearance sale format “
How do you get started? Simply log on to SriLanka.Com and, using the “LastMinute Deals”
engine, look up rates for the dates and locations you desire. When you find the perfect
bargain, you can immediately place your booking in Real-Time format through the site, and
start packing your bags! The instant online booking nature of this service ensures the
utmost convenience and security for any would-be tourist, holidaymaker or even business
traveller.
With online bookings becoming steadily more popular in the tourism industry, Sanjiva
Gautamadasa of Jetwing Hotels comments, "Realising the potential of online bookings,
Jetwing Hotels are very happy to team with www.SriLanka.Com in order to extend our
services to offer this lastminute booking facility".
Once again, the words of Prince Seeva sum up the situation perfectly: "You can never
make up the revenue of an unsold room. Why not sell it at a discount price where both the
Hotel & Traveller benefit?"
