Despite surge, halal hotels small part of Indonesia’s largest online travel booking site
JAKARTA - There was a surge of ‘halal hotels’ signing up with Indonesia’s largest online travel booking site in the last two years but they still account for a small proportion of Traveloka's inventory, the online travel agent's (OTA) country market manager John Safenson told Salaam Gateway.
Traveloka currently holds a hotel inventory of around 14,000 since it started its online hotel booking service around the middle of 2014. The 730 halal hotels currently resgistered with the site account for only five percent of its entire stock.
According to Safenson, 260 halal hotels in Indonesia signed on with the OTA in 2016 and 470 the following year.
