HotelsCombined, the world’s leading hotel comparison engine, has further increased its European presence by partnering with InItalia, Italy’s leading hotel reservation centre.

As a result of this affiliation, HotelsCombined's existing database of more than 320,000 hotels has grown by an additional 9,000 properties from InItalia’s inventory, offering HotelsCombined’s international users even more accommodation variety. Furthermore, consumers can now enjoy the high-quality service provided by one of Italy’s most well-respected travel brands.

“This partnership underlines our continued commitment to provide the best hotel price comparison service to our growing user base,” says Caterina Mocciola, Italy Market Manager at HotelsCombined. “InItalia’s inventory provides our Italian users with a locally-recognized brand, allowing them to easily find the right hotel for their needs- particularly within the Italian domestic market.”

Beginning as a multilingual hotel reservation call centre in 1997, InItalia now offers online reservations and has gone on to become Italy’s top hotel reservation service. Their easy-to-navigate website boasts competitive prices, real-time hotel booking and a customer service phone line that assists clients throughout the booking process.

"InItalia’s popularity continues to grow thanks to its versatility and power to evolve,” says Tommaso Trani, CEO of InItalia. “We are very proud of this new partnership with HotelsCombined and believe it will help confirm us as part of the global tourist market.”

This latest partnership with InItalia is one of a slew of European affiliations recently announced by HotelsCombined: In the last six months, the global website has launched major partnerships with European travel enterprises Ryanair, Travelmenu, Venere.com and Hotels.nl.
