Wego Launches WegoBeds: A Game-Changer in the Middle East Accommodation Market

In a move set to revolutionize the hospitality industry in the Middle East, Wego, the largest online travel marketplace in the region, has announced the launch of WegoBeds, a specialized B2B accommodation platform. This platform is designed to cater to the increasing demand for accommodation solutions in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

WegoBeds serves as a bridge between Middle East hotels and Wego’s global partner network. It also acts as the primary hotel supply source for Wego’s own online travel agency (OTA) and corporate travel businesses. With the GCC hospitality industry projected to reach USD 37.62 billion by 2028, the timing of WegoBeds’ launch couldn’t be more perfect.

According to research by market analysts, Deloitte, Dubai currently boasts a hotel room capacity exceeding 150,000, while Riyadh and Doha have also seen significant growth in their hotel inventories. Riyadh has added 28,465 rooms, and Doha has doubled its hotel inventory in the past decade to 39,968 rooms. WegoBeds aims to capitalize on this growth by distributing these rooms to travel agencies worldwide.

WegoBeds offers a comprehensive solution for B2B accommodation bookings with real-time availability and competitive pricing. Leveraging Wego’s extensive leadership and expertise in the MENA region, the platform utilizes state-of-the-art technology to provide dynamic and static rates through channel managers and a dedicated extranet.

To ensure the success of WegoBeds, the company has assembled a team of experienced hotel contractors across the Middle East region. These contractors are responsible for onboarding new hotels to the platform and providing support and advice to hoteliers regarding their global distribution strategy.

Craig Hewett, Wego Co-Founder, and Chief Hotels Officer, highlighted the opportunity presented by the B2B hotel market, stating, “With WegoBeds, we see an opportunity to create a one-stop-shop for anybody globally who wants to sell Middle East hotels and who wants a best-in-class technology platform.” The platform also offers 24×7 customer support in both English and Arabic to address any queries or issues faced by distribution partners or hoteliers.

Travel buyers can access WegoBeds via XML connectivity, providing them with access to a wide range of accommodation options across the region. With its strategic focus on MENA and its role as a specialized B2B accommodation platform, WegoBeds is well-positioned to drive innovation in the hospitality sector.
