Hotel bookings have just been made easier by the launch of  `www.A4Atravel.com’.  The web portal, an initiative of A4A Hospitality, was launched in the city by Ashwani Sagar Dhawan, President and CEO, A4A Hospitality and Puja Guliani, Vice President- Sales and Marketing, A4A Hospitality.

The web portal contains detailed information about 3200 hotels in the country ranging from two star to five star.

It also includes data about the location of the hotel, costs, facilities and places of interest close to the hotel.

A specialised feature of the site is the slide-show of photographs of the interiors and exteriors of the hotel. The site has been constructed to cater to all kinds of people varying from corporates to tourists both from India and abroad.

User-friendly site

The user-friendly site enables the customer to make his bookings with just three clicks. The portal also offers all the hotels an e-contract enabling them to upgrade their rates and avoid discrepancies between the rates mentioned by the site and those of the hotel.  An added advantage is that it is backed by a strong customer support centre.

Addressing the press, Mr. Ashwani said, “booking has always been a challenge. The markets are flooded with search engines but there are not too many booking engines. That is where we come in. We might not have the big names supporting us in this endeavour but we are technically more advanced than the other booking engines.”

A4A Hospitality, a three-year-old company dealing with the hotel industry has also recently opened an office on Lavelle road in Bangalore. They have already established themselves in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Goa and Mysore.
