The Odisha Tourism Development Corporation (OTDC) on Tuesday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the OYO, an online travel agent and room aggregator, ahead of the Odisha Hockey Men's World Cup Bhubaneswar 2018.
As part of the agreement, the OYO will increase the inventory of rooms on the OYO platform and will endeavour to take onboard the hotels and home stays in Odisha to meet the enhanced demand for accommodation during the world cup.
The OYO will set up a help desk at airport, railway station and bus terminals five days prior and during the world cup and a dedicated phone line to create and manage bookings coming from the guests.
OYO CEO Ritesh Agarwal said, “It’s a matter of great honor for the OYO to partner with the OTDC for the Men’s Hockey World Cup.
Our team is working round the clock to ensure that our current chain of 160 OYO hotels with 1,600 exclusive rooms, is ready to delight the guests and sportsmen coming to witness this colossal occasion.’’
