iXiGo Lays Claim To World’s Biggest Hotel Search Engine
With rates and availability, in real-time, across more than 220,000 hotels, hostels, heritage properties, serviced apartments, home-stays, guest houses and villas, iXiGo claims to be the world’s biggest hotel search engine.
“With our ability to integrate niche hotel aggregators quickly, we have gone from being India’s biggest, to being the world’s biggest hotel search in just over eight months, now, aggregating nearly 50 hotel booking providers globally,” says Mr. Aloke Bajpai, Founder & CEO.
iXiGO.com had launched its Indian hotel search engine in April, 2008 and has since established content partnerships with multiple hotel aggregators including HostelsClub, HotelsCombined, Travelguru, Inasra and Intech. These relationships allow travelers using iXiGO.com to search and compare prices across nearly 50 hotel booking websites worldwide and give consumers more than 6 million real time bookable hotel-rooms. According to this release, this launch also introduces some cutting-edge features and usability tools never seen before on hotel search sites, including city-maps with hotel markers, city-landmarks and pictures, search by distance from an address, location-based search, filters for amenities, property-types and hotel-chains, aggregation of travel reviews from multiple review sites and comparison of hotel room-rates for the exact same hotel-room from multiple hotel websites on a single page.
