DUBAI, UAE, May 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Wego, the largest online travel marketplace in
the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA), has announced the
launch of WegoBeds, a specialized B2B accommodation platform
designed to meet the growing demand for accommodation solutions in
the region.
WegoBeds bridges the gap between Middle East hotels and Wego's global partner
network and it is also the primary hotel supply source for Wego's
own online travel agency (OTA) and corporate travel businesses.
The GCC hospitality industry is projected to reach USD 37.62 billion by 2028, according to research
and market's GCC hospitality report. Deloitte's findings indicate
Dubai boasts a hotel
room capacity exceeding 150,000, while Riyadh has added 28,465 rooms, and
Doha has doubled its hotel
inventory in the past decade to 39,968 rooms. WegoBeds' launch
coincides with this growth, aiming to distribute these rooms to
travel agencies worldwide.
WegoBeds offers a comprehensive solution for B2B accommodation
bookings with real-time availability and competitive pricing that
leverages Wego's extensive leadership and expertise in the MENA
region. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, WegoBeds offers
dynamic and static rates through channel managers and a dedicated
extranet.
The company has recruited a team of experienced hotel
contractors across the Middle East
region to onboard new hotels to the WegoBeds platform and to then
provide advice and support to hoteliers with respect to their
global distribution strategy.
"The B2B hotel market is relatively fragmented from a B2B
perspective and there is a lot of new supply coming onto the market
in the next few years", said Craig
Hewett, Wego Co-Founder and Chief Hotels Officer, "With
WegoBeds we see an opportunity to create a one-stop-shop for
anybody globally who wants to sell Middle
East hotels and who wants a best-in-class technology
platform.
WegoBeds offers 24x7 customer support in both English and Arabic
to ensure resolution of questions raised or issues faced by our
distribution partners or hoteliers.
Travel Buyers can access WegoBeds via our XML connectivity,
providing them with access to a wide range of accommodation options
across the region. With its strategic focus on MENA and its role as
a specialized B2B accommodation platform, WegoBeds is
well-positioned to capitalize on these favorable market conditions
and drive innovation in the hospitality sector.
