FIT Ruums will offer a comprehensive array of travel services to the Asian travel trade, including hotel rooms and transfers.
“The rising affluence of Asian countries is driving a new travelling class - a shift away from groups and towards Free Independent Travel (FIT),” explained Daryl Lee, the newly-appointed director of WebBeds FZ. “For Webjet, this is the right time to invest in Asia.”
FIT Ruums is Webjet's third operating unit within the B2B division, following the earlier launch of Lots of Hotels in North America, the Middle East and Africa and the acquisition of Sunhotels in Europe.
