HotelTravel.com Added Russian Version To Its Website

HotelTravel.com added Russian language on its Web site to join in one of the largest and fastest growing tourism markets in the world.

HotelTravel.com - the world leader in the provision of tourist information and hotel reservations online, added Russian language to the main version of its Website, so now the sun lovers have time to book the hotels which are interesting to them anywhere in the world.

According to Mr. Olivier Dombey, Director of Information Technology at HotelTravel.com, the appearance of the Russian version of the website is a response to the growing interest of Russian-speaking clients who would prefer to make reservations in their native language.

"On the basement of various studies it was drawn a conclusion that the vast majority of Russians do not speak English, or any other language except their native. HotelTravel.com tracks constant growth of interest of the Russian clients to the travel industry within the country and beyond. We believe that the website will help our clients in Russia in search of excellent hotels at low prices. In addition, it will take quite a bit of time".

Now the Russian-speaking clients have access to thousands of pages of useful tourist information available only at HotelTravel.com. Each page of the unique English text of the HotelTravel.com was translated into Russian by native speakers. Automatic translators (which are common to many other online travel agencies) were not used. Customer Service Department at HotelTravel.com also provides customers with highly qualified personal - Russian native speakers.

According to recent Euromonitor research, relating to the development of international travel and tourism industry, in 2011 the Russian tourist market will increase to 3%. A key factor in this issue is a fixed income of the citizens in the country's average. However, the researchers note that most amount of potential customers are still concentrated in large cities. The province suffers from a lack of jobs or low wages. However, the popularity of domestic tourism in Russia will increase in 2011 as well.

Mr. Dombey said: "We are confident that the Russian tourist market will continue to grow and develop in the coming year. This market certainly has huge potential, and the fact that we are running the Russian version of the website right now, only confirms this".
