Travel Startup Thrillophilia Announces Partnership with Tourism Authority of Thailand

Thrillophilia.com, India’s biggest online platform for booking 10,000+ activities and experiences, has tied-up with Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) to promote Thailand's most unique and off-beat experiences focusing on adventure, art, culture, and luxury. With this, Thrillophilia will also help in the overall efforts to promote Thailand as a value-for-money niche destination.

Thailand is one of the most sought after foreign travel destinations in India with Indians ranking sixth among nationalities visiting Thailand. With an estimated 50 million Indian tourists expected to travel abroad by 2020, Thailand is poised to have an increased influx of approximately 2 million Indian tourists in 2019. With this partnership between Thrillophilia and TAT, the objective is to allow these Indian travellers to explore the undiscovered parts of Thailand, beyond the Bangkok-Pattayacircuit to less popular and off-beat destinations such as Chiang Rai, Ko Samui, Khao Yai, Chiang Mai etc.

While working with TAT, Thrillophilia has brought more than 100 unique experiences online which are now available for booking on Thrillophilia.com. Travellers can discover and book experiences such as Flight of the Gibbon in Chiang Mai, Art in Paradise in Pattaya, Temple Tour in Chiang Rai, Death Railway in Kanchanaburi, Adventure at Khao Yai, Khao Sok tour and more. This partnership also seeks to encourage more Indian women travellers to travel to Thailand, by highlighting special experiences revolving around them such as culinary lessons, Muay Thai boxing classes, meditation in temples etc.

Further, to drive awareness about these activities and experiences among Indian travellers who are shifting focus towards offbeat and adventure activities, Thrillophilia is actively promoting the unique experiences on its online channels and also doing marketing and social media campaigns around the theme: “Experience Thailand Differently”.

Chitra Gurnani Daga, CEO of Thrillophilia said, “Thailand has been one of the safest countries to travel in Asia. Thai people are some of the most kind, gentle and welcoming people on the planet. We are quite excited with this partnership, and I am really glad that some of the best local experiences of Thailand will now be available in India to book before one actually travels. It is an Instagram world and Thailand, with its pristine beauty and unique experiences makes for a perfect choice for this generation’s traveller. We are also working on a series of videos to promote these experiences across different channels."

Addressing the partnership with Thrillophilia, Ms. Cholada Shiddhivarn, Director of Tourism Authority of Thailand Mumbai Office said, “In addition to the breathtaking beaches and gorgeous nightlife, which are already known. There is an abundance of experiences that Thailand has to offer to its visitors. As a destination, we want to reach out to the millennials who are constantly seeking for offbeat experiences and also adventure sports. Thrillophilia serves as an ideal platform to reach out to these digitally savvy audiences and help us influence their travel choice. Through this association, we are aiming to introduce and promote New Shades of Amazing Thailand to the new age Indian traveler”.

IIT Madras Alumni Startup Is Breaking The Age Old Traditions Of Hospitality By Providing Hotel Booking By The Hour

Do you remember the days when you have to hire a cab for the entire day even though you needed to use it for a few hours? I guess no. After the dent made by services like Ola and Uber in the cab industry, it is hard to imagine booking a cab for an entire day when you need it only to go to work.

Unfortunately, this has not changed when it comes to hotel booking. Travelling is something which everyone loves. But what makes a travel costly; is the stay at a hotel. Even if you are travelling to give your exam or attend any business meeting for which you need a room just for few hours, you have to do a full day booking (12 noon – 12 noon) in a hotel, which in turns make your travel cost rise.

Sandeep Jaiswal and Pranav Prabhakar, after experiencing the same thing they felt it is unethical and unfair to be charged for an entire day when they use a room for only a few hours. And this is where they stumbled upon the idea for catering the need and founded MiStay, with the aim of breaking the age-old traditions and changing the rules of hospitality to make travel flexible and fair to travellers.

MiStay is a travel tech company which allows booking hotel rooms by the pack of hours with flexible check-in and check-out times.

“The problem with rigid full day booking affects every kind of travellers. MiStay allows travellers can book a room for an appropriate combination of slots and pay only for the time stayed. It offers, booking based on slots (8 am – 11 am (Morning slot), 12 noon – 7 pm (Day slot), 8 pm – 7 am (Night slot)). This not only fills the needs of frequent business travellers as well as leisure travellers who require room for less than a day or with flexible timings but also gives hotels a channel to increase their occupancy and revenue per available room,” says Pranav Prabhakar, Co-founder and CTO, MiStay.

Meet The Innovators

Sandeep Jaiswal who is an IIT Madras alumnus has 2 years of experience in management consulting. Most recently, he worked with strategy consulting firm, Essex Lake Group, where he devised profit enhancement solutions for one of the largest banks in South Africa, and also filed 2 patents for developing internal analytical tools. Prior to joining Essex, he co-founded a for-profit social enterprise AmrutDhara which was aimed at reducing the environmental hazard from bottled water by providing a sustainable alternative.

Whereas, Pranav Prabhakar, a computer science graduate from IIT Madras with over 3 years of experience in design and product development has worked as software engineer at LinkedIn. Prior to joining LinkedIn, he had founded a new media startup, Cinemagrapher, where he developed an innovative product to help photographers and marketers automatically create cinemagraphs from short videos. Earlier, he had also co-founded HireFellas, a curated marketplace for photographers.

At MiStay, Jaiswal is responsible for driving the overall vision of the company to ensure customer delight while leading the on-ground operations, partnerships and business development for the sustainable growth of the company. Whereas Prabhakar leads the technology and design to build innovative solutions for customers while making sure that all efforts are grounded in user-centered principles.

Business Mockup

MiStay has partnered with around 115 hotels across 8 cities in India (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Pune, Gurgaon). The hotels range from 2 star to 5 star hotels including some chains like Pride hotels, Mango hotels, etc. With an initial investment of Rs 4 lacs, the founders developed the entire platform in-house. Launched in April 2016, the website is the consumer facing portal through which one can make a booking at a hotel.

“We have also developed MiStay Extranet, which is a software provided to the partner hotels for managing room rates and inventory. Later in October 2016, we have launched MiStay for Business, a portal developed for corporates, where the travel managers in any company can make bookings on behalf of the company employees,” says Prabhakar.

Duo has also developed the effective payment mode. They have 2 models of payment- Pay at Hotel, where customer makes direct payment at the hotel in which TAC is collected by MiStay for all bookings for a month at the end of the month. Another is Pay Online, where customer pays online to MiStay at the time of booking. The net amount after deducting TAC is transferred to the hotel before the guest checks in.

“In case of last minute booking or a booking happens on a non working day, payment is transferred on the day of check in or next working day. Hotels can opt for either or both modes of payment,” informs Prabhakar.

MiStay takes around 20% of the booking amount as referral commission from the partner hotels on the bookings done through the platform.

What Makes Them Stand Strong In The Market

If we look at the figuers, hotel industry in India is a $20 billion market and MiStay is targeting the business travel segment primarily, which is estimated to constitute around $12-14 billion of the total hotel booking market. In India, this market has just started getting recognized. And various OTAs like Goibibo, MakeMyTrip, etc. as well as some other startups working on the same concept are the key competitors for MiStay. But if we talk about the global market, startup competes with players like DayUse.com and ByHours.com.

“Going forward, direct tie-ups with corporates to manage their employees’ business travel will be a key customer acquisition channel. Hence, the offline travel agents serving the corporates would be competitor in that market,” says Prabhakar.

Despite competing with companies like MayMyTrip, Goibibo etc. there USP, extreme due-diligence in partnering with hotels is something which makes founders stand strong in the market.

“Apart from the two core pillars – paying only for time stayed, and flexible check-in/check-out times, another key aspect that differentiates MiStay from any other player in the industry is the extreme due-diligence in partnering with hotels. All the partner hotels are strategically located near key business hubs of the cities or near the transit areas like airports and railway stations. More than 75% of the MiStay partner hotels have Tripadvisor rating more than 4 out of 5,” says Prabhakar.

Future Map

In the short span of time, this Bengaluru-based startup has seen 36% of repeated customers. MiStay, which was one of the 10 startups nationally selected for Axillor Ventures Accelerator program intend to make their every customer their brand evangelist by ensuring them the best hotel experience.

“We have already started seeing sudden growth in last few weeks. We have seen more than 200% month-on-month growth, and this is likely to increase multi-folds as we start tapping various growth channels,” concludes Prabhakar..

Our Take

Online penetration in hotel booking in India is only around 20% and if we talk about corporate hotel booking market in India, it is very fragmented, unorganized and largely served offline. However, the industry is slowing moving towards becoming more online. With the help off mushrooming startups like Mistay, Self-Booking Technology (SBTs) are going to be the trend in corporate travel market in coming years.

PE Firm Emerging India Invests $50 Mn In Travel Startup Goomo

Mumbai-based omnichannel travel tech startup, Goomo has secured $50 million to enter the OTA market in India. The investment comes from Emerging India, a Mauritius-based fund manager with over $1.5 billion under management.

The company plans to utilise freshly infuse funds to build an online platform, products, marketing and establishing its off-line partner network.

Commenting on the development, a spokesperson from Emerging India said, “Over the last 12 months we have built a great team with a strong foundation. We are excited about the growth prospects of the business and expect the team to create a great India focused travel distribution business in the next 2 – 3 years.”

Goomo Holdings was established after Emerging India acquired Orbit Corporate and Leisure Tours in November 2015, and then launched the online platform, Goomo.com, in March 2017 with an intent to focus on the fast-growing b2c travel segment. Goomo.com launched its services with Flights, Holidays and Trade Fairs and will soon be launching hotels, trains, buses and visas on-line.

“Over the last 12 months, we have successfully integrated Orbit, built a great team with strong industry experience and a robust technology platform.It is early days, but we are already getting great feedback from customers. Given the potential in the travel sector, we aim to establish ourselves as one top 3 travel platforms in India in next 3-5 years,” said Varun Gupta, CEO Goomo.

“Goomo is being built ground up to be an Omni-channel platform that will facilitate corporate and consumer travel booking across online and offline channels.” he added further.

Goomo will distribute travel products and services through its online platform, flagship stores, and partner agents. In addition, management expects to build one of India’s largest retail distribution networks with an objective of touching more than 20 million customers a month.

This round is one of the largest raised by a startup operating in the online travel space, outside the big two players - Nasdaq-listed firm MakeMyTrip and Yatra and therefore it is the evidence of increasing investor participation in the space.

Leisure Travel Space Trends

With the advancement of technologies, the concept of tourism has evolved drastically over the years. There has been a tremendous technological shift, and people are now moving from computers to mobile phones for many purposes. Mostly, all search and discovery processes are happening a lot over mobile phones. However, the majority of bookings are happening through the website from a laptop or a PC. Travelling is not restricted to just visiting different places and sight-seeing, it has evolved as a mean of exploring and experiencing varied forms of lifestyles and cultures. Both inbound and outbound travellers look forward to more than just visiting places. They want to explore new horizons, try different cuisines and submerge into enjoying the destination`s lifestyle, etc. Travellers look out for customised trips, adventure sports, camping under the shining stars, boutique hotels and some even go to the extent of learning different cuisines.

She has chosen to follow her passion and founded, TripXOXO, in 2015 as a go-to destination for travellers looking for fantastic activities & trips, enjoyable experience and exciting deals. Heena says, “Looking at Indian travel landscape, the internet is cluttered by airline websites, Indian online travel agencies and international companies which offer both tickets & stay bookings. We realised that there is no dedicated travel portal which services the needs of a traveller who looks for experiences, activities, and support like airport transfers. There is clearly a huge vacuum, and we aim to fill the same. With the evolution of human mindset from tourist to a traveller, people now look forward to experiencing the culture of the destination they are travelling to. Hence, the market for things-to-do and activities is growing very rapidly.” She adds "We are not a regular travel company. We have an array of services to travellers like - transfer services at more than 2000 airports, hassle-free ticket bookings for amusements around the globe, food experiences at lesser explored destinations including local assistance with multilingual support and much more."

We are also looking at working collaboratively with some tourism industry giants to enhance our activities. We have different suites of benefits designed for the good of all type of travel service providers. We are also partnering with many big travel companies for enhancement of our activities section.” Heena explains further, “Contrary to other travel portals like Makemytrip and Trivago; we do not offer hotels and air-ticket or pre-packaged tours. We specialise in everything that a traveller requires after tickets and stays are booked. From tours & activities, transfers, tickets to attractions, etc. We also let the traveller plan the trip based on their interests.”

Changing the Way of Travelling

TripXOXO provides fun-tasting options to discover and book activities, attractions, monumental tours, concerts, sport event tickets, etc. across the destinations visitors arrive at.
