Unique 'last minute' booking alternative launched...
Striking the balance between the desire of hoteliers to fill vacant rooms and the needs of consumers to get cheap accommodation, Ubid4rooms.com brings a fresh new style to booking online accommodation.
18 months in development, Mr Gary Berman Managing Director launched this week what he describes as “not another last minute website” but a booking engine that offers 1000’s of rates, at over 50 properties across Australia.
Ubid4rooms.com one of a kind web booking engine offers travellers 14 days in advance reservations, and the ability to bid on up to three hotels, where clients make an offer naming the price they want to pay for a room.
Ubid4rooms.com is like e-Bay for tourism with a confidential transaction between the guest and the hotel. Of the three bids, the first hotel to accept the clients offer guarantees same day confirmation with rates up to 50% off.
Similar sites in the USA and UK offer mystery bids where the guest can only stipulate the city and level of accommodation; Ubid4rooms.com is completely unique allowing guests to bid on precise hotels in a simple and easy to use format.
Matt Brown NSW Tourism Minister said at the launch that 58% of all international visitors went to the web 1st to research their visit to Australia. Stating Ubid4rooms.com is a very welcome initiative and adds a vibrant new product that will evolve over time, with the support of the industry giving hotels added exposure and the ability to secure new business.
Ubid4rooms.com will change the face of online accommodation booking and bring value back to consumers. Ubid4rooms expects to have more than 100 properties listed by the end of the year.
