Kenya was among the new long-haul destinations added

Lowcostbeds has added more hotels in long-haul destinations to its existing portfolio of rooms as it launches a new XML gateway.

The accommodation provider has focused on gaining more product in the Caribbean, Far East, Australia, USA and Middle East.

At the same time, new destinations include Kenya, Gambia, Maldives, Mauritius and South America.

“We have been steadily building our long haul business over the last few years through the trade, and now see the opportunity to really accelerate this growth,” said David Weatherson, long haul product & purchasing manager at lowcostttravelgroup.

“We are not as well known for long haul destinations as short haul but aim to change that perception over the forthcoming months.”
