Travelguru will continue to operate as a stand-alone business and brand in India, focused on growing hotel demand and distribution network while Travelocity India will continue its full service online travel agent focus, including international and domestic air, hotel and package travel.

'We will leverage the benefits of increased access to hotel content across our sites and our distribution partners and synergies in product, technology, partnerships and innovation across both businesses over time,' Travelocity Asia-Pacific regional vice-president Roshan Mendis said.

Travelguru chief executive Ashwin Damera said both partners would jointly work to bring significant benefits to Indian hotel suppliers, with increased distribution and broadest choice of travel deals across India.
