SINGAPORE, May 24, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Powerful
disruptive online travel portal Traveliko has announced a zero
commission policy to support hotels that are ready to cut the cord
and change the way the travel industry is managed, marketed and
transacted around the world.
Developed and tested over three years to meet the needs of
today's tech savvy, socially conscious travelers, Traveliko was
created by a group of seasoned hospitality professionals who saw
hotel profits being squeezed due to high commissions of up to 35%
being paid to powerful Online Travel Agencies (OTAs).
We simplified the relationship between customers and service
providers for the benefit of both parties," says Yann Gouriou, traveliko's co-founder and Chief
Operations Officer.
"We work directly with hotels to guarantee the best available
rate, and we have replaced commissions with a subscription model
that provides hotels with a free listing for up to 100 bookings per
month, supplemented by a range of premium options for a modest
fee," he adds.
According to many hotel professionals, Traveliko is a logical
next step for the travel industry because it goes beyond
standardized product and service distribution to reconnect hotels
with their guests. The technical mind behind the free booking
engine, Bjorn Harvold, is also
working on solving one of the biggest headaches in the travel
industry – expensive and time consuming cross border payments.
Together with other travel tech companies, Traveliko is creating an
intelligent payment platform using Blockchain technology to
facilitate fast, easy, low cost money transfers.
"By offering a fast, free and effective booking engine that
works with a wide spectrum of hospitality services we can challenge
outdated approaches to the travel business and make Traveliko the
"go to" place for the best member rates and other value added
services," says Bjorn.
"Our zero commission policy means hotel owners and management
companies now have access to an efficient high-value booking
solution. The more hotels that come on board, the stronger
Traveliko becomes, and the closer we get to fixing the industry,"
explains Martijn Dekker, Traveliko's
CFO.
This open, balanced commercial philosophy requires a commitment
to change from hotel owners and their management teams, and the
approach has already attracted a large number of hotels to the
traveliko platform, including global brands, boutique chains and
independent properties.
