Hotel CIQ Johor Bahru, a budget hotel established in 2010, has selected Singapore-based travel tech startup Journeyful Pte Ltd for their booking engine technology.

"Journeyful's booking engine is elegantly designed and integrates seamlessly onto our existing website," says Ms Thacha K., Sales Manager of Hotel CIQ. "This is the perfect solution for us as we needed a simple-to-use tool that allows our guests to make room bookings and purchase add-on services with us securely, around the clock, via our website."

The affordable, turnkey solution was developed by Journeyful to address the needs of small and budget hotels. The booking engine is designed to fulfill a hotel website's key objective – to convert website visitors into bookings. The booking engine was designed to be both customer-friendly and very simple for hotel staff to use. It can be deployed onto a hotel's website, and the hotel staff can be trained to use it – both in under an hour.

"We are focused on helping hotels increase profitability by giving them exactly the tools need. The Journeyful booking engine allows hotels to secure immediate and guaranteed bookings for their unsold rooms," says Ivan Chong Han, who heads booking engine sales for Journeyful. "We absorb the integration costs and customers pay the hotel directly upon arrival. It's a win-win situation for the hotels."

Hotels add booking engines to their website to provide instant confirmation to customers who wish to book a room. The cost of a booking engine is significantly lower than the steep commissions charged by third party channels, such as Online Travel Agencies. Journeyful booking engines are designed to dramatically improve a hotel's profitability by enabling more guests to book direct.

Developments are underway to improve the booking engine's features, which will be released in later versions of the technology.

Malaysia Airlines to end hotel stays for MH370 families | The Herald

Posted: 01 May 2014 03:01 PM PDT

KUALA LUMPUR. — Malaysia Airlines will cease to provide hotel accommodation for relatives of missing flight MH370 passengers by May 7, the airline said yesterday.
The Malaysian flag carrier has provided hotel accommodation for relatives in a number of countries —most of them in Malaysia and China —where it provided them periodic updates on the situation since shortly after the flight mysteriously disappeared on March 8.
But relatives' tempers have repeatedly flared, particularly at the Lido Hotel in Beijing where Chinese families have regularly lashed out at officials from the Malaysian government and the airline over their inability to explain the plane's disappearance on May 7.

"Instead of staying in hotels, the families of MH370 are advised to receive information updates on the progress of the search and investigation and other support by Malaysia Airlines within the comfort of their own homes, with the support and care of their families and friends," the airline said in a statement.

"In line with this adjustment, Malaysia Airlines will be closing all of its family assistance centres around the world by 7 May, 2014."
Wen Wancheng, whose son was on the flight, said that relatives have come under pressure from time to time to leave the hotel and go back home, but was adamant that they would refuse to do so.

"Today MAS brought this up officially and we're not going to accept it," he told AFP, referring to the airline.
"They made the commitment in March that they wouldn't drive us out of the Lido until any wreckage was found," he said.

The government-controlled carrier also said it would soon make advance compensation payments to the next-of-kin of the 239 people on-board the plane, part of a final package to be agreed upon later.

It did not specify the amounts.
Wen, the Chinese relative, expressed concern about the payments.

"It has to have a legal basis," he said.
"Is this for relatives' mental damages or the casualties of our family members on-board?"

About two-thirds of those aboard the missing plane, which vanished from radar en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, were Chinese nationals. The airline also had provided psychiatric support at hotels for families trying to cope with the tragedy.

The carrier said it would establish centres in Beijing and Kuala Lumpur to provide "follow-up support and services" but gave no further specifics.
A Malaysia Airlines spokeswoman declined to offer further details when contacted. —AFP.

Globe trotters have named Penang's Seven Terraces as the hotel with the best service in the nation, says TripAdvisor.

This beautiful private hotel of only 18 suites, initially a row of seven 19th century Anglo Chinese terraces, sits in the very heart of the island's World Heritage Site.

Itt is the brainchild of hoteliers Karl Steinberg and Christopher Ong, winners of the 2007 UNESCO Award of Distinction for heritage conservation.

Let's take a closer look:
