Instant Online Hotel Availability in Asia – Asia Online Group Changes the Travel Industry

Bangkok, Thailand (PRWEB) April 17, 2007

Asia Online Group has announced the first ever consumer targeted Asian Pacific hotel network which gives direct access to hotels in Asia for travelers. AsiaTiv.com now shows consumers instant availability for hotel rooms in Asia.

Dror Meytal, Asia Online Group’s CEO says: “Unlike in Europe and USA, none of the Asian online travel web sites offered direct access to dynamic room availability information in Asia. Until today, travelers would browse the web find a hotel, based on general agency inventory and seasonal price list, and based on that the traveler needed to make a reservation with their credit card information and wait up to a week for a response.”

Previously hotel reservations were done with a system which estimated availability and had a very long turn response time. Mr. Meytal continued “There is a very poor trend where more than 50% of hotel reservations in Asia being made online were for rooms that were no longer available, and for rooms on holidays or peak seasons the rate jumped 70%! Customers were trapped by a scenario were their credit card was blocked for the amount of a purchase and they were not being rewarded for their patience. Our new network of over 2500 hotels gives them a real picture of room availability, price and simplifies the purchasing process.”

The Asia Online network offers other travel resources on top of low cost accommodations. Visitors to AsiaTiv.com can reserve airport to hotels transfers, tours, boat trips, private cars with drivers and much more. Travel-hub.net, also part of the Asia Online Group, services travel agents and agencies. Travel agents can now offer real time hotel availability for their clients, saving them money and increasing satisfaction. Mr. Meytal commented “Travel Agents have known about this problem for years, and the feedback that we receive from them while building this network has been 100% positive.”

The Asia Online Travel Network not only lets customers directly book their hotels, but offers a price match guarantee. Customers receive instant feedback and the lowest possible prices. Mr. Meytal concluded with “We wanted to improve the customer experience, whether online, on the phone or in our offices. We back up our network by having representation in 8 South Asia Pacific countries, so travelers can feel secure even after they have made a purchase.”

About Asia Online Group:

Asia Online Group, a network of Asian travel resources which focus solely on the Asian Pacific area. Asiativ.com is the consumer based portal specializing in personal travel services.

Asia Travel Company Emphasizes Luxury Travel to India with Cultural Immersion: Asia Transpacific Journeys Responds to Increased Demand For Custom
India Travel

BOULDER, Colo. (PRWEB) April 29, 2008

    Says Marilyn Downing Staff, Asia Transpacific Journeys’ founder and owner: “Southern India is home to some of the most progressive, well-educated and prosperous states in India–the infrastructure of hotels is first class and there are direct flights connecting major cities country-wide.”

Travelers are also curious about the level of accommodations available for travel to India. “The accommodations throughout India are superlative in every sense”, notes Downing Staff. In central India it’s possible to stay at restored maharajah’s palaces that rank among the world’s greatest hotels. In the south, properties are traditionally appointed boutique hotels and converted private mansions. The piece de resistance in Northern India should include a stay at the Ananda Spa in the Himalayas. This heavenly retreat recently garnered the coveted World’s Number One Destination Spa award from Conde Nast Traveler magazine.

Many travelers experience India on three different journeys. Most travelers begin with central India to explore stunning Rajasthan, sacred Varanasi and the sublime Taj Mahal–that classic India that you hold in your mind’s eye. By contrast, the south feels like a different country, tropical and lush–the spice mecca that Columbus was searching for. There is a languorous feel, and the ancient temple architecture is dramatic. Conversely, the stark, snow-capped northern Himalayan region is home to ridge-top monasteries with contrasting Buddhist, Sikh, Hindu and mystic religious traditions.

Traveling with a knowledgeable, reputable travel company will assure consistently excellent quality in lodging, transport, logistics and local guides. Additional benefits of private, custom travel to India with Asia Transpacific Journeys include itineraries that can be crafted around a traveler’s unique interests, such as the arts, yoga, cuisine, wildlife, spas or schools. The per diem cost of a Custom Journey in India starts from $ 350 per person per day. This rate includes accommodations, private guide and driver, nearly all meals, transfers, entrance fees, emergency and medical evacuation insurance and a comprehensive pre-departure packet.

Rick Steves Announces the All-New (Free!) Audio Europe App

Rick Steves’ Audio Europe App

Edmonds, WA (Vocus/PRWEB) March 13, 2011

Rick Steves, the European Travel Expert, announces the release of his free app, Rick Steves’ Audio Europe, for iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. Designed to help heighten traveler’s sightseeing experience, it organizes Steves’ vast library of audio files – 25 audio walking tours of Europe’s top sights plus 200 tracks of travel tips and cultural insights from his radio shows — into geographic-specific playlists covering all of Europe. Interested travelers can learn more at Steves’ website or go directly to the iTunes App Store.

For the past few years, ‘Rick Steves’ Audio Walking Tours’ for Europe’s top sights and museums have been a big hit on iTunes, with more than 4 million downloads. And podcasts of his ‘Travel with Rick Steves’ public radio show have reached an even broader audience online than through broadcast. Rick Steves’ Audio Europe organizes this audio library so travelers can enjoy ready access to the information that relates specifically to their travel plans.

At the heart of this app is Rick Steves’ series of 25 self-guided audio tours through Europe’s most important museums, sights and historic walks. In London, Paris, Venice, Florence, and Rome, Rick’s voice will keep travelers’ eyes focused on the wonders that surround them — not buried in a guidebook.

“This app thrills the tour guide in me,” explains Steves. “The combination of hearing about the art as you see it heightens your ability to really appreciate it. It all sinks in more deeply and fluidly than the disconnectedness of the experience when your eyes jump back and forth from book to masterpiece, again and again. It frees you up to maximize your focus and be in the artistic moment.”

Rick Steves’ Audio Europe is designed to be used at home or on the road. Travelers always encounter downtime (riding on trains, for example), so, unlike most travel apps on the market, it also works offline. Once a user downloads their selection of files, they are saved on the device and a connection is not needed to listen. This will save travelers the cost of pricey European data charges and the hassle of finding a good WiFi connection.

Rick Steves’ Audio Europe was created in partnership with Seattle-based company, Treemo Labs. “The development of this app was certainly a collaborative effort between my team and Rick’s team,” explains Brent Brookler, Founder and CEO. “We leveraged our existing platform to match the unique needs of a traveler using Rick Steves’ content on the road. The end result was a very sophisticated custom audio file download system. This new technology is unique in the market because users can download and play not only audio files, but guided audio tours segmented by chapters with photos.” He continues, “I think we are most proud of the simple and intuitive interface. It is extremely easy to use.”

Rick Steves Audio Europe will save travelers hundreds of dollars in guided tour expenses and its public radio content will make sightseeing both more fun and meaningful. Handy PDF maps that complement the app’s audio tours can be viewed on the device or printed from any computer. A work in progress, users can look forward to regular updates, including four all-new audio tours for Athens in April.

Learn more by watching this demo video. For more information or press opportunities with Rick Steves and his staff, please contact Ashley Sytsma at ashley(at)ricksteves(dot)com or 425-608-4293.

About Rick Steves

Rick Steves grew up in Edmonds, Washington and studied at the University of Washington where he received degrees in Business Administration and European History. But his real education came in Europe — since 1973 he’s spent 120 days a year in Europe. Today he employs 80 people at his Europe Through the Back Door headquarters where he produces over 50 guidebooks on European travel, the most popular travel series in America on public television, a weekly hour-long national public radio show, and a weekly column syndicated by the Chicago Tribune.

About Treemo Labs
