Rocket Internet AG, under its holding firm the Asia Pacific Internet Group, has announced the official launch of its hotel-booking platform 'Jovago' in Pakistan. At a ceremony at Mövenpick, Karachi, the company launched its online hotel booking service portal for the domestic travellers of Pakistan, thus revealing a wide variety of options to choose from while travelling.
The event also marked the launch of first ever 'Best Price Guarantee', which provides best price guarantee for more than 1,600 hotels in the country - the largest inventory of its kind in Pakistan. Travellers can take advantage of Jovago's Best Price Guarantee immediately from the time of booking and up to 72 hours after booking. Speaking on the occasion through video message, Paul Midy, CEO Jovago, said that for the first time in Pakistan, an online booking company was going to guarantee the cheapest hotel prices and a refund of the difference if customers find cheaper prices elsewhere on the internet.
"We are extremely excited to launch this portal in Pakistan and see a great potential in vacationers and business travellers that seek convenience and cost efficiency in the nick of time. Jovago offers an extensive portfolio comprising of the most suitable options that our customers can choose from," he added.
On the occasion, Nadine Malik, Managing Director, Jovago Pakistan, said that basic mission of this initiative was to open up every piece of bookable accommodation to all Pakistanis by bringing them online. "We aim to provide the ideal accommodation for every kind of traveller at the best prices and provide them with a fast, reliable and easy to use service to book the perfect accommodation from the comfort of their own homes," she added. Commenting on 'Best Price Guarantee' offer, Nadine went on to say that best price guarantee gives to all of Pakistan's guests peace of mind, allowing them to plan ahead, book early and get the hotel that they want without worrying that a better deal will come along after they've committed.
She informed that Jovago, operational in Pakistan since May 2014, aimed to expand the tourism industry in Pakistan by catering to an existing gap whereby there was no single platform for consumers to browse and compare hotels across the country. When guests who booked with Jovago find a lower price advertised by other online booking services or hotels after their booking, they simply need to contact our 24/7 Customer Care who will process their request for a refund. The difference in pricing will be provided in the form of cash back if the booking was made in advance, or we will match the price if the payment is due on arrival, she mentioned.
