WARSAW. FEBRUARY 19—Polish mobile solutions innovator Psiloc announced today that is has added a complete hotel bookings plug-in to its flagship travel platform, World Traveler, thanks to a newly-signed agreement with Finnish mobile hotel bookings leader Hotelzon.
“The new hotel bookings plug-in, which will be marketed under the Hotelzon name, will allow you to search for, find availability and book a hotel stay either by location, hotel category or length of stay—all through your mobile phone,” Marek Filipiak, Psiloc founder and president, said. “But for the traveler who suddenly gets stuck with nowhere to stay, the search option can be switched to location by GPS, which then automatically checks all hotels in the immediate vicinity.
“We consider this a key step forward in the development of our World Traveler product,” he added.
The Hotelzon bookings plug-in should make waves in what Filipiak noted to be a cutting-edge and highly-competitive industry that is bringing new products to the traveler on an almost daily basis. The Hotelzon plug-in offers a new twist, however, by offering a “GPS-radius” feature, which allows a traveler to scan his immediate area for available hotels—even if he does not happen to know his exact location.
“Simply switch into the plug-in and set your radius for five or 10 or 15 kilometers,” Filipiak said. “Then let World Traveler’s Hotelzon plug-in do the rest and find an available hotel that matches your standards.”
Filipiak also emphasized the reach of the new plug-in. Finnish Hotelzon is ranked as the biggest mobile hotel stay provider, with access to booking more than 90,000 hotels world-wide through their mobile phone application.
