New hotel booking engine for Myanmar
A LOCAL travel agency is riding on the online booking trend with a new real-time accommodation booking website, slated to begin later this month.
As real-time credit card usage is not available in Myanmar, www.epgtravel.com will allow users to book hotels around the world using a specially created account.
EPG Travel managing director Aung Naing said: "Most foreign booking websites require the user to have a credit card but EPG Travel will instead create an account that customers add credit to." Users will be provided with an agent ID, user name and password when they register.
Naing added that the website would target marketing representatives in Myanmar, especially those who travel out of the country frequently.
The booking engine is jointly created by Hotel Club 88, a B2B hotel booking service division of Bangkok-based tour operator, CBS Travel Asia.
