Roomsnet.com which has over 12 years of experience in the global online travel industry, is showcasing its solutions at the Hotel Show 2012, which opened yesterday at the BMICH.

Providing a platform to showcase their products for hotel suppliers, both local and international, the Hotel Show 2012 is and on until Sunday.

Citing experts, Roomsnet.com said a website alone does not guarantee a positive or strong online presence. Consumers are moving towards making their travel bookings via the Internet, as it provides flexibility and convenience. European travellers have used the Internet to make their accommodation bookings for many years and more recently around 20% of Asian tourists too have turned to online bookings. Statistics show this trend will grow.

In this context online marketing plays a major role as a relatively untapped option in the Sri Lankan hotel industry. Having a proper online presence and strategy would ensure that Sri Lankan hoteliers would gain the advantage of being visible to these prospective customers. Hoteliers visiting the hotel show this year will have the opportunity to make their websites relevant to potential customers. This is through the simple integration of a user friendly online booking engine provided by Roomsnet.com.

Roomsnet.com has over 12 years of experience in the global online travel industry and would be the best choice for the hotels to market their properties and make their presence visible to the net savvy customer.

“We have had a lot of positive feedback and interest from the hotel industry. We look forward to help create a new phase in online travel in Sri Lanka through our unique booking engine and related services. We invite all to visit us at our stall C-9,” said Indika de Alwis, General Manager of RoomsNet.com

RoomsNet is a subsidiary of Olancom Ltd., which is an ERI holding company. Olancom is the IT and IT enabled services arm of the ERI group.

The biennial exhibition has spanned over fourteen years. The Hotel Show is held with the aim of developing the hotel industry in Sri Lanka to its maximum potential. This is done by showcasing the latest innovative products that help local hoteliers compete in the tourism industry on a global scale.
