DirectRooms continues expansion

PHUKET, Thailand - Asia based hybrid hotel meta-search site DirectRooms just launched 10 additional languages where hotel bookings are on the rise.

The latest languages include Hungarian, Czech, Romanian, Finnish, Croatian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Slovakian, Ukrainian, and Russian.

Travelers in these countries can now search and compare deals from 270 hotel booking sites in their native language.

DirectRooms is the first site to offer a hotel meta-search in the Croatian language.
“We are pleased with the results from our addition of these 10 languages,” stated DirectRooms managing director Alex Lotz. He added, “This takes us to a total of 26 languages in our inventory and gives millions of potential travelers the widest choice of hotels and prices on the Internet.”

In Hungary, Czech Republic, Romania, Croatia, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovakia and the Ukraine, shorter but more frequent weekend trips are becoming more popular.

Travelers from these countries can now get fast, comparison pricing results for either weekend getaways or extended holidays.

“The launch of the additional languages is the latest in a series of new developments at DirectRooms.com,” said Lotz. “We recently launched a proprietary hotel mapping function, added TripAdvisor reviews; included Pay Now – Pay at Hotel and no credit card needed to book option, developed a multi-grid function for choice of search displays and integrated the ‘Smart Deal’ finder algorithm. We’ve been very busy.”
