HOTELSCOMBINED RECOGNISED AT WORLD TRAVEL AWARDS IN QATAR

Almasalla Arab Travel Portal News –  HotelsCombined has been named the world s leading hotel price comparison website at the annual World Travel Awards held last weekend in Qatar.

 

As voted by travel and tourism professionals worldwide, the award recognises the commitment to excellence demonstrated by HotelsCombined over the past 12 months.

 

The website, which is now offered in over 40 languages (including Arabic), currently attracts more than 200 million users annually. It also has the distinction of being the only international meta-search hotel service available across the Middle East. In the last year, the company has launched new multi-lingual mobile and travel apps, has refined its content and geography settings and has expanded its global database of accommodation options to over 400,000 properties.

 

HotelsCombined has also continued to partner with leading travel brands across the world in a series of mutually-beneficial affiliate and supplier partnerships. As well as longstanding partnerships with the likes of VisitAbuDhabi.ae, the official tourism board of Abu Dhabi, and SkyScanner and RyanAir in Europe, HotelsCombined has this year partnered with Tiket.com, Indonesia’s leading travel reservation centre, Spain.info, Spain’s official tourism website, and popular US travel app Desti,

 

In addition to providing unrivalled convenience for travellers, HotelsCombined is equally committed to value, bringing together competitive hotel rates at up to 80 per cent off. The site also offers a best price guarantee which ensures travellers pay the lowest possible rate for their hotel – if a hotel room can be found at a lower rate online elsewhere, HotelsCombined will refund the difference.

 

Hichame Assi, Chief Operating Officer, said: “We are very proud to have been recognised at this year’s World Travel Awards. The last 12 months have been an exciting time of growth for us and we look forward to further perfecting our services over the coming years, making hotel search as easy and enjoyable an experience as possible for travellers worldwide.”

 

Amer Al Halabi, Regional Manager of MENA for HotelsCombined, was on hand in Doha last Saturday to receive the award.

“I was deeply honoured to have been able to accept this award on behalf of HotelsCombined surrounded by my travel industry peers,” he said. “HotelsCombined has made major in-roads throughout the Middle East over the last year and I look forward to being a part of its continued success in MENA and abroad.”

 

The award was presented at a red carpet event on Saturday, November 30 at La Cigale in Doha, Qatar.
