DETECTA HOTEL: LATIN AMERICA’S FIRST HOTEL METASEARCH SERVICE

Website Launch to Revolutionize how Latin Americans Search for and Book

Accommodation

Cancún, México – April 10, 2014: Detecta Hotel, the Latin American branch of acclaimed

international website HotelsCombined, has recently launched to become the region’s first-

ever online hotel metasearch website.

HotelsCombined is a free, award-winning hotel price comparison service that allows users to

compare prices from hundreds of the top travel sites – including Hotels.com, Despegar.com

and Rumbo.es - within one quick and easy search. The global site, which currently attracts

more than 200 million users annually, was just named the world’s leading hotel price

comparison website at the annual World Travel Awards last November.

Like HotelsCombined, Detecta Hotel is available in 120 different currencies and in over 40

languages – for additional convenience, the site has even been adapted to the Argentinian

dialect as well as to the Spanish used throughout the majority of Latin America.

Detecta Hotel also offers user-friendly smart phone and tablet apps that instantly view and

compare the latest accommodation deals from all the top travel booking websites. The

“Around Me” search function of the app enables on-the-go users to find available hotels

within their surrounding area in real time. Hotel search results can then be organized into a

comparison table and the best rates available can easily be selected. Search results can

also be refined by price, star rating, area and more.

And in addition to providing unrivalled convenience for travellers, Detecta Hotel is equally

committed to value, bringing together competitive hotel rates at up to 80 per cent off. The

site also offers a best price guarantee which ensures travellers pay the lowest possible rate

for their hotel – if accommodation can be found at a lower rate online elsewhere, Detecta

Hotel will refund the difference.

Gustavo Hernández Garza, HotelsCombined Business Development Manager for Latin

America, said: “With so many websites available for online hotel booking, it’s hard for the

consumer to know offhand where the best rate available is posted. A hotel room will always

have different rates on different booking sites. Thanks to the introduction of Detecta Hotel to

the market, Latin American travellers can now find the best room rate in just a single search,

saving lots of time and effort.”
