Leading online hotel booking platform, Jovago, has signed a partnership with Safarilink, the safari airline. This will ensure easy access of hotels by travellers booking flights on flysafarilink.com without having to exit the carrier’s website.
This new partnership is in line with the national efforts in promoting local tourism as tourists can now book both their locally destined flights and accommodation on the same website. Safarilink offers a network of domestic services to Kenya’s best tourist destinations including Amboseli, Masai Mara, Samburu, Diani, Lewa Downs, Naivasha, Nanyuki and Lamu, while also connecting to northern Tanzania.
Jovago.com features over 1,500 hotels in Kenya, making it convenient and economical for travelers visiting the website to match their flight schedule with preferred accommodation.
Commenting on the partnership, Mr John Buckley the CEO for Safarilink said: “We are offering our customers the choice of several hotels on the same website.”
As the official partners of Safarilink, Estelle Verdier the Managing Director of Jovago East and Southern Africa said the company’s products and services support the growth of tourism in Kenya. A recent study by United Nations World Tourism Organisation indicated that about 60% of travel and tourism is now taking place online.
She noted that “more than ever, travellers are looking for convenience; they want to be able to search and book flights and accommodation all at a single click, thus avoid any last minute hassle that could interfere with their trip, be it for business or leisure.”
