According to Bedsonline's booking data, since the launch of the new brand 
identity and value proposition in January 2019, the number of room nights sold 
from the Australia source market has grown by approximately 40% year-on-year.

As a source market Australia remains the combined Hotelbeds and Bedsonline 
brands' 3rd biggest source market in the APAC region and the 7th biggest source 
market for the company globally, up from 8th place last year. 

This growth has been driven by the new value proposition of Bedsonline, 
following the integration of GTA and Tourico Holidays into Bedsonline's parent 
group and sister brand TravelCube's customers migrating earlier this year onto 
Bedsonline's class-leading booking platform.

The new and enhanced platform now gives travel agents a powerful and 
user-friendly technology, along with local support, plus a diverse and 
competitive product portfolio - increasing from 55,000 to 180,000 the number of 
hotel properties available, whilst also providing 24,000 transfer routes and 
18,000 activities, plus 140,000 cars available for hire. 

To continue this growth, Bedsonline plans to host 20 travel agents from the 
Pacific region for a 'famil' trip in 2020, details of which will be published 
soon. The purpose of this trip is to acquaint travel agents with the services 
and offerings of Hotelbeds' partner hotels in the chosen destination. 

Peter Jones, Regional Sales Manager, Pacific at Bedsonline commented: "I am 
very proud to see the outstanding sales growth in Australia this year. The 
result has been driven by our new and enhanced platform but is also a 
reflection of our hard work and persistence in the Pacific region and I'd like 
to congratulate every team member - as well as, of course, all our travel agent 
clients for their loyalty. 

"In particular, we are very glad to hear the positive feedback from our travel 
retailers on the new enhanced offerings, improved payment options, operational 
support and loyalty rewards program. We are committed to being the ultimate 
partner for travel businesses and in 2020 will be working harder than ever." 

"To maintain our success and growth we are going to hold, for the first time, a 
'famil' trip for the top agent from a selection of our different clients. We 
want to give them a first-hand experience of the portfolio of accommodation, 
activities, and transfers that we work with in the destination. Such trips are 
invaluable for travel agents so that they can then give their customers that 
genuine personal advice."
