Goa Tourism and OYO Rooms have joined hands to help small first-generation hoteliers expand their operations across Goa and achieve long-term profitability. Tourism Minister Rohan Khaunte launched OYO’s Accelerator Program, last week, while also presenting Rs 25 lakh cheques to the five beneficiaries under the scheme.
In a release issued by the department, OYO plans to add over 500 hotels and generate more than 5,000 new jobs in the State over the next year through this joint initiative.
“As part of the Accelerator Program, OYO encourages first generation hoteliers to innovate and enter new markets, expand their customer base, and increase earnings by offering them mentorship, access to technology, dedicated relationship managers, and financial support. These hoteliers will also be able to take advantage of OYO’s network of over 15,000 corporate accounts and more than 10,000 travel agents across India to boost business prospects,” it said.
OYO Rooms claims to have simplified, modernised and digitalised its tech stack to help patrons increase their visibility and in turn improve their revenue. Its revamped technological products, like Co-OYO are now equipped to help patrons design and run their own promotional offers to increase occupancy and support revenue maximisation.
