As per the agreement, Stayzilla and Gujarat Tourism would share the current base of homestays on each other’s digital platforms in order to bring more awareness on homestays in Gujarat. Stayzilla would also assist in the verification procedures and jointly promote the concept of homestays. All TCGL registered homestays would receive technological and operational support to run. Additionally, Stayzilla & TCGL would jointly conduct education and training sessions for TCGL registered homestays on best practices such as online usage, content management, operations and expense management, which would benefit the hosts of the homestays.
The company is presently working with various state tourism departments for joint promotion and marketing of homestays.
Commenting on the announcement, Ankit Rastogi, Vice President, Marketplace, Stayzilla said, “We, at Stayzilla, have maintained that the key to increasing tourism is the availability of quality and affordable rooms pan India. The shortage of rooms cannot be solved efficiently by constructing hotels in the short frame of time, which is required. We are excited about the fact that this is the realization that various State Governments in conjunction with the Central Government have come to. Gujarat has emerged as one of the most popular states in the country for travel, thus playing a significant role in India’s tourism potential. This MoU, like the others, will help in building a vibrant ecosystem for Homestays in Gujarat.”
