Gulf Region...Tourism with "One Package" from Mobile to Destination

Travel agencies have adopted the "one package" policy which offers tourist everything from the application of mobile travel reservations to booking a camping trip in the desert, dinner on a posh yacht, to a tour of historical sites within one application, according to Qatar-based UrbaCon Construction & Trading.

Executive Director Moataz Al-Khayyat, at UrbaCon Construction & Trading, has said: “we provide this package through our Joury Tours & Travel agency, and we have been very keen to showcase this policy in the 22nd edition of the Arabian Travel Market (ATM), the region’s largest travel and tourism exhibition in Dubai.”

“To meet the growth of tourism in the area, new innovative services and technologies are becoming mainstream, such as mobile apps designed for travelers to quickly book a stay, including flight, hotel, attractions, shopping locations, and recreational activities in the Gulf region,” said Al-Khayyat.

“I agree with the findings of the latest tourism Global Trends report released by Euromonitor International that smart technologies reshape regional tourism landscape. For this reason, UrbaCon is very keen to use the latest technology in its tourism services in Qatar and GCC,” Al Khayyat noted.  

It is worth mentioning that Joury Tours & Travel agency is mainly concentrating on E-travel business as mobile application, online payment gate way and special booking system which they are providing to the big corporates in order to have a smooth operation on their travel segments.
