Covid NEWS | Agoda lists 550 hotels for quarantine stays in India
/The properties have a range of price points and offer additional services as part of the package price and are equipped with amenities like Covid-19 nursing support, three daily meals, oxygen support and other services
Agoda has listed over 550 hotels in India alone for people to search and book for quarantine stays during the second wave of the Covid-19.
Agoda has created two distinct new channels for the public to source quarantine stays. In the first channel Agoda has curated a list of hotels from its accommodation partner network that are providing “hospi-tel” services, that is, accepting Covid-19 positive guests to isolate until recovery. There are over 100 properties spread across 23 cities in the countries in this list.
The properties have a range of price points and offer additional services as part of the package price and are equipped with amenities like Covid-19 nursing support, three daily meals, oxygen support and other services catering to the guest’s wellbeing, throughout their recovery. Guests will find a contact list of hotels/hospitals (hospi-tels) on the dedicated link on Agoda’s website and can call and pay directly to the property.
"We want to make it as easy as possible for Indians looking for somewhere to isolate to be able to do so. We hope to help, by doing what we do best, using our tech to connect our partner hotels with guests, and making hotel bookings quick and stress-free through our platform,” said Tarik Fadil, Associate Vice President, Partner Services, Indian Subcontinent and North Southeast Asia, Agoda.
Agoda’s second dedicated platform aligns with its alternative quarantine product successfully rolled out in Thailand, Hong Kong, and the Philippines, which allows members of the public who are Covid negative, including public-facing frontliners, who wish to protect their families and live close to work. With more than 450+ hotels in cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata, and towns including Mohali, Raipur, and Nashik to name a few, Indians returning home, traveling between states or self-isolating can now book their stay into a hotel to quarantine for as long as they wish via Agoda.
