Deals, a technology feature which was not previously available for small and medium accommodation providers will help providers quickly fill their room inventory through attractive deals and discounts. The Deals feature is the latest of a series of technology solutions planned by Nawatan.com team to empower small and medium scale accommodation providers in Sri Lanka.
“Nawatan.com is all about providing a common technology platform for the small and medium scale accommodation industry in Sri Lanka to connect with the local and foreign tourists on the web,” said president and CTO, Punsri Abeywickrema.
