(Hong Kong, April 22, 2009) – WORLDHOTELS has launched a Japanese version of the website worldhotels.com so as to make the many features and information contained on this site accessible to Japanese speaking travellers. This is the first Asian-language version of the website for the leading Europe-based global hotel group for independent hotels and regional hotel brands.
"This marks the importance of Japan as a key feeder market for our portfolio of almost 500 affiliate properties in more than 300 destinations and 70 countries worldwide," said Roland Jegge, Vice President, Asia Pacific for WORLDHOTELS.
The Japanese version is the fifth language site since the launch of worldhotels.com in December 2007. The existing language versions include English, German, French and Spanish. WORLDHOTELS is currently also developing a Chinese version of the website to meet growing customer demand from Chinese speaking countries.
Worldhotels.com has been completely redesigned and now features a hassle-free booking process, videos, hotel reviews, weather forecasts and maps, all of which help travellers and travel agents to quickly find the best-fit accommodation from WORLDHOTELS’ large portfolio worldwide.
WORLDHOTELS also offers a dedicated portal, WORLDHOTELS.beconnected for travel agents and those who register will receive trade discounts, information about commission payments for their bookings and a regular newsletter.
The new websites dedicated online meeting product for meeting planners, WORLDHOTELS.events, has been enhanced making it more time efficient and informative. The most innovative search option of the new website is the “Get Inspired” tool, which allows meeting planners to identify a hotel based on their customers’ preferred temperature, cuisine & style, culture & nightlife, recreation & wellness as well as activities & adventures they are looking for. This search option is not possible in GDS systems and is therefore an ideal additional service to consult according to individual preferences.
To give customers balanced information, hotel reviews from the leading travel website TripAdvisor are also included on worldhotels.com.
“Worldhotels.com has been developed not only to be extremely easy to navigate but also to offer our customers all the information they may require when choosing a travel destination and hotel from locations across the globe,” added Mr. Jegge.
